This is a 4-week early offseason training system for basketball athletes designed to rebuild strength capacity, restore tissue tolerance, and progressively transition into higher-speed power expression ahead of preseason.
This is the second phase following phase 1 (see other programs available in marketplace). This program follows the same split as phase 1: 2 lower body, 2 upper body and 1 mobility/stability day in between to support recovery and movement quality. This phase still includes a variety of eccentrics, but shifts a majority of the focus towards building absolute strength while finding maxes as this is the middle of the off season for the current athlete. Exercises paired with plyometrics and med ball work to convert that control and strength into fast, reactive, sport-specific power. The sets and reps of each lift and week provides the athlete progression to build into higher volume and then finish the program with a deload week.
