Lacrosse strength program

There are many types of strength training programs out there, and 99% of them are good, solid programs. I thought I’d give you a look into how I do things.

Generally, my program will look like this:

1. Warm up
2. Explosive exercise
3a. Knee-dominant exercise
3b. Vertical pull
4a. Horizontal push
4b. Horizontal pull
4c. Hip-dominant exercise
5. Trunk stability exercise

It’s still early in the off-season, so we’ll do sprint interval training twice a week after the strength program. After the new year we’ll try to add more interval training to get the athlete ready for the spring season.

That’s a general place to start. Again, this is how I do things. Other people might do variations of this format. Even I might do variations depending on my athlete’s status developmentally, and health-wise.

We’ll take a more detailed look into each area in the next few weeks. Until then, if you have any questions at all, please comment here or log onto www.lacrossestrengthforums.com. Some of our professionals will be glad to give you a helping hand.
