APS - Armored Player System is a Volleyball physical preparation system for people who want to be strong, fast, and explosive on the court, consistently, not just once in a while.
Most training programs focus on quick results only. You might jump higher for a short time, but performance often drops when training load, practices, and matches increase. APS was built to fix exactly that.
In APS, explosiveness isn’t a short-term peak. It’s something you can maintain throughout the season, even as demands go up.
What makes APS different is the focus on long-term performance. Instead of chasing short-term gains, APS builds a body that can handle high training volume, maintain speed and power, and perform at a high level when it matters most. Everything is done with clear structure, smart progression, and respect for how the body adapts over time.
The program works by strategically combining heavy strength training, Olympic lifts, sprinting, plyometrics, and so on. Through smart variations of the main lifts and different training splits across the weeks, APS keeps you progressing without stalling or breaking down.
The result is simple: you jump high more often, move better in all directions, and show real power in games, not just in testing environments.
APS is for volleyball athletes who want reliable performance, for people who want to be truly strong, fast, and athletic, and for anyone who doesn’t want to constantly switch programs or start from zero again.
The program is delivered as a professional subscription inside TrainHeroic for $37 per month. It is a continuous system that evolves with you across different phases and throughout the season.
If your goal isn’t just to jump higher once, but to be explosive, reliable, and dangerous every time you step on the court, APS was built for that.
