Programming for athletes also needs to take into account where in the season the athlete is. Are you prepared?

Aside from general strength, athletes need to create rotational force, explosive force for jumping but also the ability to absorb great force. Be sure your programming reflects your individual needs as well as the needs of your sport.

Hypertrophy training should be the foundation for everyone, not just athletes. Everyone needs to have a solid foundation of lean muscle tissue. Everyone should utilize periodization to move from hypertrophy to strength and through power. All of these aspects of fitness need to be addressed for all fitness levels and experience levels to allow each individual to be at their best. This is also the best way to prepare your body against injury.
