EDINA HORNET STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING The purpose of this manual is to provide you with a general overview of our conditioning philosophy. The methods we endorse are based upon the most current literature available, the facts, and our experience. It is our responsibility to provide you with those methods that stimulate the best gains in the safest and most efficient manner possible. You’ve all increased your fitness levels using a wide range of methods. Our goal is to provide you a program with balance. Too much emphasis in one area may leave you deficient in another area. Overall fitness specific to the needs your sport is our priority. CONDITIONING CALENDAR Skills are specific. Running a drill, catching a ball, shooting a ball, covering receiver requires specific skills. You will be rusty at these skills if you wait until your pre-season camp to employ these skills. Time and space do not allow us to give you all the details of our conditioning philosophy. We have enclosed general guidelines. Should you have any specific questions, please do not hesitate to contact us immediately. There are several elements that make up your overall levels of fitness. They include the following components. Each must be addressed individually to achieve overall fitness for an athlete: 1. MUSCULAR STRENGTH 2. CONDITIONING 3. FLEXIBILITY 4. SPECIFICITY OF EXERCISE 5. SPECIFICITY OF SKILLS 6. NUTRITION/EXCESS BODY WEIGHT 7. REST 4 MUSCULAR FITNESS The primary objective of our strength program is to reduce the chance of injury and build general overall strength. The risk of injury to any area of the body demands that each major muscle group be developed to its maximum. Most sports are gross motor activities. All major muscle groups are used to perform each of the skills you use on the field or court. We can enhance the abilities you use if each area of the body is developed to its maximum. Balance is the key to your overall fitness program. Balance is also the key to your strength program. We divide the body into five major segments. They include the following: 1. NECK (Neck, Traps) 2. HIPS & LEGS (Buttocks, quadriceps, hamstrings) 3. MIDSECTION (Abdominals, Low Back) 4. TORSO (shoulders, Upper Back, Chest) 5. ARMS (Biceps, Triceps, Forearms) Each area of the body, and exercise performed, must be given equal emphasis. We’ve observed that many young players coming into our program have ignored the neck and the shoulder capsule. For that reason, we urge young players to begin emphasizing those areas. Your program lacks balance and the proper priorities if you spend 25 minutes bench- pressing each workout, and just a few minutes on your neck and/or shoulders. Your muscles act as shock absorbers for your joints. Our goal is to prevent the ―sudden impact‖ injury, if possible, and also reduce the repetitive trauma muscles are exposed to day after day, practice after practice. By developing and maintaining near maximum strength levels during the season, we also hope to prevent or minimize the accumulative trauma to your joints that can cause problems after your career is over. REP The foundation of any strength program is the rep. It is how each rep is performed that determines the quality and productivity of each exercise. We divide the rep into three phases. They are the raising phase , the pause phase and the lowering phase. Each phase is equally important. The same muscles used to raise the weight are the same muscles used to lower the weight. With the proper emphasis, you will also get stronger from the lowering phase of an exercise. RAISING PHASE: During the raising phase, you must raise the weight without jerking, bouncing, or using momentum to assist. The brain will only recruit as many fibers as is needed to raise weight – no more, no less. Motor learning experts state that it is the ―intent‖ to raise the weight fast that is the key to developing explosive power. Not that the implement itself moves fast. If you can raise the weight extremely fast, the weight is too light to stimulate maximum strength gains, or you are using momentum to assist. Observe the competitive power lifter attempting to bench press a heavy weight. He pauses momentarily with the bar touching his chest and tries his hardest to rise the weight as fast as he can. The bar will move in a smooth and controlled manner. Observe the Olympic lifter performing the power clean. The lifter initiates the movement with muscle, but momentum eventually takes over as he literally throws the bar in the air as he jumps under it. The use of a force plate demonstrates that there are few and eventually no muscle fibers working during parts of the exercise. The explosive training ―myth‖ is just that—a myth! It will eventually result in injury. Raise the weight at a speed that allows only the muscle to perform all of the work. Pause 5 momentarily in the ―muscles contracted‖ position. If there is no bounce or recoil, you can assume that you’ve minimized or eliminated the momentum. PAUSE PHASE: The Sliding Filament Theory provides us with information regarding how a muscle fiber contracts. Each muscle fiber is composed of two filaments. As a muscle (each individual fiber) contracts these two filaments pull themselves toward (and eventually over) each other causing the fiber to fully contract. The process is important to understand if full-range exercise is to be accomplished. The greatest numbers of muscle fibers are recruited in a muscles contracted (pause phase) position. It is at this point the best gains in strength can be made if…you pause momentarily (stop) in the muscles contracted position . If there is any bounce in this position there are literally thousands of muscle fibers not recruited or developed, eliminating potential strength gains. LOWERING PHASE: Gravity and muscular friction make it easier to lower the weight. During the raising phase, you are fighting against gravity. It makes it harder to raise the weight. During the lowering of the weight gravity is assisting you. You can lower a great deal more weight than you can raise. Because of this, you will use fewer fibers to lower the same weight you raised unless: 1) You allow more time to lower the weight. 2) You add more weight during the lowering phase. Once you’ve raised the weight and paused momentarily in the contracted position, you should take longer to lower the weight. The lowering phase should be performed in a smooth, consistent manner from the beginning of the movement until the end. Once fatigue sets in, there is a tendency to speed up the lowering phase. This will make the exercise easier to perform and less productive. The speed of the lowering phase should be identical on the first rep through the last rep. HOW MANY REPS: The literature and our experience indicate that an individual should perform somewhere between 6 and 12 reps of most exercises. If only a few heavy reps are performed, you will not have enough time to activate a high percentage of all the fibers available. While performing a one-max rep, you will only activate a limited supply of fibers. You will not develop all of the fibers leaving you more vulnerable to injury. There is also a conditioning effect that is specific to your sport that is obtained by increasing the number of reps. As fatigue sets in on the playing field or court, you are gradually bringing more fibers into play. It could be the first long drive of a game, the second period, 8th inning, or half way through practice. If your training involves a few heavy reps, you’ll eventually be using muscle fibers on the field or court that you didn’t strengthen in the weight room. The power lifter has needs specific to his event, as does the varsity athlete You can get stronger performing almost any number of reps. Performing a few heavy reps is more dangerous, too time consuming, and not specific to the muscular needs of playing your sport.

    Complete EXERCISE GUIDE Mitch Muller – MindsetFitness.net Chest Exercises BB Bench Press / Incline Bench Press Special Notes: First retract your shoulder blades into the pad to “lock” your shoulders in place. This will ensure that the tension stays on your chest. Finish the movement with the elbows slightly bent. DB Bench Press / Incline Bench Press Special Notes: Same retraction technique of the shoulder blades as mentioned above. Lower the weight into a deep stretch of the chest. The DB’s should finish OUTSIDE of your shoulders, NOT ABOVE your shoulders “clicking” the weights together. The purpose is to keep tension in the chest throughout the entire range of motion. DB Fly / Incline Fly Special Notes: Retract Shoulder blades first. Open up the DB’s WIDE, making sure to not turn the movement into a press. Finish the exercise with the weights outside of the shoulders just like the DB chest press above. DB Incline Press Fly Special Notes: This movement emphasizes the negative portion (the lowering of the weights). Simple perform a regular negative rep for the fly, then tuck the DB’s into a press position (where you are stronger), press them up above your head and control the negative fly again. This movement is a combination of both a press and a fly. Great exercise when the chest is nearing fatigue. Machine Chest Press / Hammer Strength Chest Press Special Notes: Retract shoulder blades into pad and slide out in the seat slightly to get into a “locked” position. Shoulders do NOT move forward whatsoever during this movement. Focus your attention on the upper middle fibers of your chest and SQUEEZE.

  • The Bench Press Fly's
    www.dfwsportsmed.com AC Joint Injuries: Weight-Lifting Exercises to Avoid Adapted from Ollie Odebunmi, Demand Media The acromioclavicular joint, also known as the AC joint, is at the top most point of your shoulder where the collar bone attaches to the shoulder. AC joint injuries are caused by repetitive trauma, falls on the shoulder joint or certain weightlifting exercises. But you don't have to abandon your weightlifting program. Simply modify your technique and avoid the exercises that cause discomfort. The Bench Press Avoid full range of motion barbell or dumbbell bench presses. Excessive stress on the AC joint occurs when your elbows drop below your body on the downward motion. Using heavy weights compounds the problem. The bench press is often seen as a test of strength by weightlifters, and many do the exercise too frequently with near- maximal weights. Limit the stress on your AC joint by not bench pressing every week. Use a towel roll or do the bench press on the floor to prevent the elbows from dropping past the body. Fly’s Flat bench or incline bench dumbbell fly’s with dumbbells lowered in a wide arc out to the sides overextends the shoulder joints. The stress and risk of injury to the AC joint increases if your elbows drop below your body to get a full stretch of the pectorals. Machine fly’s gripping a bar or handles or with forearms against a pad also overextend your shoulder joints on the negative phase of the movement as your elbows travel beyond your shoulder joints.

  • Full Body Workout Plan
    WORKOUT PLAN Recommended Program For You: Full Body Routine 3x Per Week Since you’re still in your first year of consistent proper training, the fastest way for you to progress in the gym will be to follow a full body routine 3 times per week. This will maximize progressive overload on all of the key compound lifts and produce the most efficient results for you at your current stage. There are 2 different workouts you’ll be performing (workout A and workout B), and you’ll simply alternate back and forth between them on any 3 non-consecutive days of the week. That means week one would consist of workout ABA, week two would be BAB, then repeat. You should also aim to include 2-3 cardio sessions throughout the week. These can be done at any time as long as it isn’t immediately prior to weight training. Low intensity/long duration, high intensity/short duration or medium intensity/medium duration cardio are all acceptable forms and you can just choose based on preference. Cardio is not mandatory from a pure fat burning perspective (since this can technically be achieved through diet alone), but it’s still a good idea to include for the sake of overall physical/mental health and metabolic conditioning purposes. A few important notes about your workout plan… - All sets should be performed approximately 1-2 reps short of muscular failure. This means that you should continue each set until the point where, if you were to give a 100% all-out effort, you would only be able to complete 1-2 more reps in proper form.

  • Origins of Canadian Olympic Weightlifting
    1 Page # June 30, 2011. ORIGINS OF CANADIAN OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING INTRODUCTION The author does not pretend to have written everything about the history of Olympic weightlifting in Canada since Canadian Weightlifting has only one weightlifting magazine to refer to and it is from the Province of Québec “Coup d’oeil sur l’Haltérophilie”, it is understandable that a great number of the articles are about the Quebecers. The researcher is ready to make any modification to this document when it is supported by facts of historical value to Canadian Weightlifting. (Ce document est aussi disponible en langue française) The early history of this sport is not well documented, but weightlifting is known to be of ancient origin. According to legend, Egyptian and Chinese athletes demonstrated their strength by lifting heavy objects nearly 5,000 years ago. During the era of the ancient Olympic Games a Greek athlete of the 6th century BC, Milo of Crotona, gained fame for feats of strength, including the act of lifting an ox onto his shoulders and carrying it the full length of the stadium at Olympia, a distance of more than 200 meters. For centuries, men have been interested in strength, while also seeking athletic perfection. Early strength competitions, where Greek athletes lifted bulls or where Swiss mountaineers shouldered and tossed huge boulders, gave little satisfaction to those individuals who wished to demonstrate their athletic ability. During the centuries that followed, the sport continued to be practiced in many parts of the world. Weightlifting in the early 1900s saw the development of odd-shaped dumbbells and kettle bells which required a great deal of skill to lift, but were not designed to enable the body’s muscles to be used efficiently.

  • The Squat, Or How I Learned to Stop Leg-Pressing and Use My Ass by Mark Rippetoe
    Starting Strength The Squat, or How I Learned to Stop Leg-Pressing and Use My Ass by Mark Rippetoe I learned to squat a long time ago. It was 1977, and I had just been in a little altercation that convinced me that I might need to be in a little better shape than I was. I was an Early Adopter – I had played soccer in high school (Texas, 1973-74, nobody knew what the hell they were doing, had to buy the balls through the mail, football coaches thought we were girls, soccer coach didn’t know what he was doing, etc.), and had continued playing intramural in college. I was in decent “shape” in the sense that I wasn’t fat, but considering myself 30 years later, I can understand why I decided I need to train. I was a soccer player, for God’s sake. I was not very strong. And although my little brush with violence had left me mostly intact, I was unhappy with the outcome. I decided the same thing young men have been deciding since there have been young men: I was going to get stronger. A lack of strength had not been a major factor in the affair. The guy only hit me once – a sucker punch, really and actually – and I was not completely inexperienced in these matters. But I failed to whip his ass, and failures of this type usually demand a response. Being a relatively civilized individual, my response was not a drive-by shooting like the pussies of today seem prone to do.

Boorstin, a well known historian and author, successfully argues that the first true pioneer of systematic modern exploration was Prince Henry The Navigator of Portugal. In the early 1400s under the leadership of Prince Henry, Portugal began a systematic exploration of unknown lands. This was accomplished by repeatedly sending out explorers. Each one ven- turing farther than the one before, then returned to report their findings to the mapmakers. These mapmakers then gradually constructed more accurate maps and built a foundation that allowed the explorers to venture still farther. This was the first organized cooperation between mapmaker and explorer. This book could never have been written if not for the unreasonable efforts of early explorers and mapmakers in bodybuilding. This book is dedicated to these early pioneers. Vince Gironda Bill Pearl John Grimek Arnold Swarzeneggar (of course) And the current pioneers: Dr. Mauro Di Pasquale Angel Spassov Yuri Verishonski Ivan Ivanov Also: A special thanks to Joe Weider for his untiring efforts to increase the awareness of bodybuilding around the world.

  • Grippaldi the Great: How to Train the Overhead Press One of the Greatest Overhead Pressers in History Tells How He Trained
    Starting Strength Grippaldi the Great: How to Train the Overhead Press One of the greatest overhead pressers in history tells how he trained by Marty Gallagher In terms of being a legitimate muscle publication, by 1971 the once mighty Strength & Health magazine had self-imploded. Bill Starr had left and created a creative and directional vacuum. Owner Bob Hoffman and his right hand (hatchet) man John Terpak felt they needed to reassert editorial dominance. As staunch Nixon men, Hoffman and Terpak felt that Starr and the “youth movement” had been a total pain in the ass, and now that Starr was gone they could remake S&H into something more “sensible” and “mainstream.” Meanwhile Joe Weider was completely embracing the youth movement while presenting the first wave of physical super-freaks: Sergio Oliva, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Franco Columbo and Robbie Robinson began appearing in regular rotation as cover men on Muscle Builder, the flagship Weider publication. Joe was all about the youth movement, sensible be damned. Hoffman hated bodybuilding. He could not believe that a red-blooded American male given a choice between participating in effete bodybuilding or manly Olympic weightlifting would, in overwhelming numbers, embrace bodybuilding and send Olympic weightlifting down the same long lonesome road as buggy whips, iceboxes and rumble seats. Too cheap and arrogant to seek professional magazine help, he published an increasingly amateurish publication that featured one lame S&H cover after another. It was embarrassing: Hoffman would pair up sub-par male physiques with amateur females that knew nothing about how to pose in front of photographers that knew nothing about physique photography.
