Yo -

Want to get bigger, faster, stronger?

Of course you do.

Here’s 3 tips to point you in the right direction.

We’ll call it Strength Training 101.

Tip 1: Pair heavy lifts with dynamic movements

Every time you squat heavy, bench heavy, deadlift heavy…

Superset that exercise with a dynamic movement.

Examples:

Squat → Box Jumps

Bench → Clapping push up

Deadlift → Split-squat jumps

Tip 2: Prepare your body for maximum effort

Preparation and recovery are necessary to earning strength and size.

If your body is fatigued, you won’t be able to lift heavy weight.

Before your heavy lift days, do this workout.

It’s a recovery workout that I’ve mentioned before.

It’s a secret superpower that not a lot of athletes know about.

Even professional athletes.

But luckily — you read D1 Scholarship.

Tip 3: Focus on sport-specific exercises

Start with the basics.

Squat, deadlift, bench, pullup, etc.

Then, focus on exercises that mimic movements you make in your sport.

This usually means an exercise that is the same movement you do on a daily basis, but with a constraint.

Constraint = something that makes the movement harder

Some examples would be adding weight to a jump (like a medicine ball or sandbag) or using a cable to add resistance to rotational movements.

We’ll dive deeper into strength training in the future.

For now, run with this.

P.S. Strength training is the easiest way to gain an edge over all the other athletes in the country. Most aren’t doing it. If you want a scholarship, don’t ignore it. See you tomorrow.
