Explosive Power Workout – Abbreviated
September 22, 2006
This is a routine that can develop explosive quickness and power as well as make your body bigger. This is the explosive power routine only shortened for those who overtrain quite easily.
The most important benefits of weight training should be to gain strength and health. Believe me, with strength, size will come eventually. The Iron Game is one where hard work, intensity and patience are of paramount importance to overall success.
This program eliminates some of the exercises in the regular explosive power workout and instead of 2-3 days per week, the abbreviated regimen limits the lifter to just two days, period.
The most important thing is strength and the way to build that is by using major compound exercises that work the major muscle groups. Add to that proper nutrition with reasonable rest between workouts and you have a recipe that practically guarantees success.
Squats or Deadlifts
Hang Cleans
Push Press
Pulldowns or Chins
Notes: Train consistently and use whatever set and rep scheme you feel comfortable with. It could be one or two sets to failure, 5 x 5, singles, doubles, triples – anything you want, so long as you’re consistent and work hard. Add weight to the bar whenever possible and get lots of rest, eat good food and drink plenty of water.
Understand that to be successful in any weight training program – hard work is a must! Half-hearted effort does nothing for you. If you’re new to weight training or grossly out of shape, consult a physician first. End of disclaimer.
