Sport-Specific Gym Routines
For those of you familiar with periodization, it's general practice to perform sport-specific gym routines & exercises in both the preparation and competitive phases of your meso training cycle. Below are a list of sample gym workout routines and relevant exercises that I (GP) have prepared for varying transitions in the past and are amongst the many featured in the top-selling book Gym Workouts - Maps to Success. As mentioned on many other pages, you should allow for sensible transitions between gym routines. Likewise, during these phases other supplementary training (such as cardiovascular & plyometrics) should follow similar transitions, therefore complimenting eachother - with the goal of improving performance during competition (not the gym!).
If you are unsure how to structure a periodization plan, please consider purchasing the Gym Professor book Gym Workouts - Maps to Success, which provides easy-to-use process maps with hundreds of gym workout routines for you to follow (whatever your ability, sport or goal).
