Strength training is an essential component in all aspects of human performance. Any sport technique can benefit from being stronger. An athlete is not going to just magically jump higher, run faster and push harder. All of these attributes can be improved through strength training. Developed properly every person can gain significant functional benefits from strength training such as increased bone density, improved muscle tendon and ligament strength, improved joint function, reduced potential for injury, better cholesterol, improved cardiac function and improved metabolism.
Our philosophy in regards to strength training is to focus on the fundamental physiological principals that make a person stronger. Although there are many different types of strength and many different exercise techniques for attaining them the laws of physiology are the same. This means the principles of attaining strength are the same for everyone they are to achieve overload through frequency, intensity and volume.
Overload simply means for a person to continually make gains in strength one must continually increase the demands put on their body. There are three ways this can be done 1) increasing the frequency of exercise, 2) increasing the intensity of the exercise and 3) increasing the volume of the exercise. All three of these variables must continually increase to bring about continued physiological adaptation. Each of them must be applied systematically over time according to every individual’s capacity this is why most one size fits all strength programs don’t work successfully.
For a strength program focused around the fundamental physiological principals of strength Rot Iron Sports offers full programs and packages in Strength Training which include full 45 minute private training sessions that will help you with this specific goal to get started contact Sam here.
