Sport-Specific Gym Routines
For those of you familiar with periodization, it's general practise 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 routines and relevant exercises that I (GP) have prepared for varying transitions in the past. 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 forthcoming Gym Professor eBook (most likely titled "The Complete Training Book"), which will provide easy-to-use process maps with hundreds of gym workout routines for you to follow (whatever your ability, sport or goal).
