Whilst ARMOUR UP is a remote service hopefully the video above gives you an opportunity to get to know who i am and a further insight into my coaching philosophy and service i provide my clients.

ARMOUR UP will be a programming platform designed for athletes both male and female who struggle to supplement and periodise resistance training alongside their sports specific training in-season. All too often athletes make big efforts during preseason to build muscle, strength and speed…to then totally neglect it in season. Implementing this programme into your weekly regime will help maintain and drive strength training adaptations which will reduce the likelihood of injury re/occurrence and therefore maximise your performance and game time.

INCREASE STRENGTH
The program will cover all basis including Lower limb strength, plyometrics, trunk strength, speed & change of direction.
benefit-image-1
AND SPEED
To best prepare the tissues to be resilient and perform optimally under high speed running conditions then we must include regular exposure to sprinting in our program. You cannot replicate the rate and magnitude of force production during sprinting in the weights room alone
benefit-image-2
IMPROVE MOVEMENT QUALITY
Improving basic movement skills, strength and physical capacities will allow you to tolerate higher volumes of running, decrease risk of injury and ultimately lead to better performances

BUILD YOUR RESILENCE

FAQs
When should you schedule these session?
Your best option is to complete these sessions on a day you don't have sports specific training. However if you have limited REST days then it may be more beneficial to complete these sessions as part of a double training day. Doing so will then allow you to completely rest on your OFF days.
What are the main factors to consider for reducing injury rates?
1.Previous injuries are one of the most cited factors for muscle injuries 2.Muscular weakness and imbalance 3.Lack of conditioning 4.Muscle tightness and range of motion 5.Ignoring slight twinges
Is nutrition important for maximum benefits of the programme
The importance of good nutrition cannot be underestimated.A high performance car runs at its best with top level fuel. The same applies to your body. If you build a high performance body, filling it with the best nutrition will enable it to perform, recover, adapt and grow at its optimal level
Should i do the optional sprint session?
Sprinting is one of the best exercises for building robust hamstrings. if you aren't being exposed to high speeds in your team training i would highly advise you get at least 1 speed session in per week. You cannot replicate the rate and magnitude of force production during sprinting in the gym
What are the benefits of doing this programme?
1. Increase strength, build muscle & tissue capacity and improve movement quality 2. Improve your resilience against future injuries and address predisposing ones 3. Increase your confidence 4. Improve mobility and flexibility 5. Improve performance levels
How does the programme work?
The programme will change every 4 weeks and consists of 3 resistance training sessions per week and 1 optional speed session
