As an athlete, your strength must be explosive. Almost every sport requires quick, powerful movements to gain the upper hand. Improve your explosive strength in your chest with the Resistance Band Speed Bench. Do 3 reps as fast as possible against the added resistance. Repeat for 8 sets and ignite the pectorals.

Everyone knows who we’re are talking about, strong arms, v-shaped back, blows over in a strong wind. Architecturally, a structure is built from the ground up. An athlete is no different! As an athlete you must incorporate leg exercises into your regular workout routine. Lifting lower body muscle groups will increase natural testosterone levels therefore building more muscle mass throughout the body. This will also make the body leaner and more efficient at burning calories.

It is important for an athlete to increase force production in order to become faster, more explosive, and jump higher. When you train, couple back squats with box jumps. Do 5 reps of back squats and rest 60 seconds, then do 5 reps of box jumps. Repeat for 5 sets.

Steve Weatherford of the world champ NY Giants believes in explosive training. He prepares himself as if he were an olympic high jumper training every day to function at the highest level. He doesn’t let the stigma of being “just a punter” get in his way and feels you must train to have all of your muscles working in sync together to avoid injury and capitalize on all on potential. Weatherford is clearly bringing it and shows athletic potential is in all of us no matter what others may say.
