BecoMIng a STrong(er) aThLeTe

A Strong(er) Athlete is an exceptional athlete, yet, of a different kind than the typical competitive sports participant. Unlike the person that trains rigorously to excel in one or two events, the goals of Strong(er) Athletes are to achieve overall strength and health to the best of their ability.

Achieving these goals requires an entirely different training regimen, not a powerlifting or bodybuilding program, but one that enhances to-tal strength and health through specific exercise and diet.

Training for competitive sports is a point in which training for health and fitness no longer is the prime objective. A complete, well-round-ed program, for example, covers all areas—from cardiovascular and strength development to flexibility, mobility, nutrition and beyond. By contrast, a competitive sport such as powerlifting requires the develop-ment of maximum strength above all other areas in order to become a champion. Sport-specific training can significantly neglect other areas of training to achieve its desired outcome.

The question then becomes, what happens when overall strength and health becomes the main purpose and goal? In other words, what does one do when they no longer have the need to excel 100 percent at one specific attribute, but rather, develop all areas at the highest level pos-sible?

This is where the Strong(er) workout comes into play. The Strong(er) Athlete will sacrifice a studied depth in training to achieve an optimum and well-rounded breadth.

Training to be your absolute best in a sport takes years of consistent, regulated training, including great sacrifices that are hard to understand unless you have been there and lived the life. There are serious commit-ments of time, money and lifestyle to be made if one wishes to win in the competitive sports arena.

Strong

(er) Phase 2

My own experience includes more than 20 years of training for competi-tive strength sports — including both powerlifting and bodybuilding. Since strength always was my first love, however, powerlifting became my sport specialty and my training and competing reign lasted over two decades. Since the age of 13, I have logged more than 10,000 hours of gym training and an equal amount in the training of others. I have written hundreds of articles and four books on the subject, while having spent countless hours advising and counseling athletes, coaches and trainers to achieve outstanding results with their programs. To say that I have lived my life “Under The Bar” would be a vast understatement.

Strong(er) Athletes might be those who no longer wish to devote 100 percent focus into one single training discipline or sport. Others might be serious trainers who wish to maintain their hard-won abilities at the highest level, but simply no longer wish to compete.

Rather than setting goals to beat others in competition, the Strong(er) Athlete wants to accomplish the goals he has set for himself. To that end, I have brought my extensive training background to bear on a 52-week program to help the Strong(er) Athlete develop all aspects of individual fitness.

Each phase of the Strong(er) Workout program builds on previously achieved goals and focuses primarily on physical preparedness, maximum strength development, dynamic strength development, muscle gain and fat loss.

The Strong(er) Workout is not a beginner’s exercise program. A consistent background of at least three to five years — with a proven training pro-gram — is recommended before undertaking the Strong(er) Workout.

This program assumes that you have a solid base of training fundamentals and good exercise technique. You must have a strong desire to train, and, at times, train extremely hard. In other words, you need to have Extraordi-nary Resolve to reach this level.

The Strong(er) Workout will test you both physically and mentally, but the gains will be great. In the end, you will be one of the few who possess EXTRAORDINARY RESOLVE.

If you want to make this commitment, then let’s begin: Welcome to the Strong(er) Workout.

The TranSfer To STrengTh

PhaSe

The purpose of this phase is to begin the process of converting your training to a pure strength program. Phase 1 was constructed and de-signed to ready your level of preparation for pure strength work. This does not come without a price. During Phase 1, your strength levels may drop because of the focus on muscular balance, GPP, and muscular de-velopment. If this was done correctly, your ability to lift sub-maximal loads for multiple sets will have diminished. The first part of Phase 2.1 is designed to bring this ability back. If you’re jumping into this without having gone through Phase 1, you will NOT be able to make it through Phase 2.1. My first suggestion to you is to go back and complete Phase 1 first, as all these phases are linked together. If this is not an option, then jump straight to Phase 2.2.

(er) Phase 2

Parameters

Rest Periods: Unless otherwise noted, rest between 60-120 seconds be-tween sets. If you feel you need more, don’t exceed 3 minutes.

Cardio: Reduce to 3 times per week for 20 minutes at a moderate pace.

Warm-up Sets: Only work sets are listed. Do as many or as few warm-up sets as you need.

Diet: This is a FREE phase with diet. This is IMPORTANT. While there are no specific dieting guidelines, there are some things to keep in check.

You need to maintain a positive calorie balance. You SHOULD NOT lose weight on this phase. In truth, I would like to see you gain some weight and go up a couple of percentage points in body fat. The main purpose of this phase is to build maximal strength, and you will need ALL the recov-ery you can get. By keeping calories high we can ensure that your nutri-tional needs are being met. This will also give you a break from dieting all year round.

Here are some simple rules:

1. Eat every 3-4 hours. 2. Keep protein around 1 gram per pound

of body weight, divided evenly across all means.

3. Have some healthy fats with each meal. 4. Drink as much water as you can. 5. Eat junk food in moderation.
