College Softball Summer Strength Training – Phase 3
This week, I’m delivering Phase 3 of our College Softball Summer Strength Training program. Below you will be able to access the PDF workout sheets (to Phase 1, 2, and 3) to download and print.
As a reminder. here are the terms and conditions of the program:
- This program is designed to prepare incoming college freshmen athletes for their collegiate weight room experience by including exercises such as squats, deadlifts, push ups, pull ups, presses.
- The program progresses from an emphasis on flexibility, core strength and basic exercise technique toward competency and strength. You will see the prescribed number of reps per set decrease by Phase 3. This means choose a heavier weight.
- The program follows a 3-day workout rotation. Phase 3 assumes the athlete is free of weekend-softball responsibilities and therefore a hard, lower body conditioning finisher is programmed on Day 3. If the athlete has a tournament on the weekend, omit this finisher.
- Exercise video demonstrations and instruction are hyperlinked to each exercise in RED. Once you open the PDF, click on any of the exercises to load their video.
College Softball Summer Training Program – Phase 1
Joe, My daughter has traveled three hours to see Carly for a lesson and I have asked you a question or two before. My daughter is an 18-year old senior in high school that has signed with a college. She has just finished Phase 3 above (did phases 1 and 2 before that). What should she go to now to work on her strength?
