What is the purpose of this program?

This is a strength and conditioning program designed to build bigger, stronger, more explosive athletes with more horse power.

The demands of athletes are universal.If you can run, jump, sprint, change direction, are strong and powerful then you will be successful. These are the goals that we are working towards. We will get there by lifting heavy, conditioning (metabolic, sprint, jumping), and working with the mentality of "Train Fast Be Fast."

Another key principle is building strong posture and position through the use of external forces, external resistants, and external elements to challenge posture and position. Why is posture and position important? Your ability to sprint, jump, change direction and tackle is all dependent on whether or not you can maintain good posture and position through full ranges of motion.

What’s the training going to look like?

Every day you will have a warm up and dynamic movement prep. These components set the tempo for the day and ensure that you are prepared for the physiological demand ahead in the day’s training. There are two levels of strength work for the beginner and the advanced participant. Here we strengthen posture and position with heavy weights. Finally, there is the field work. This could be any combination HIIT training, cardio, metcon, plyos, weightlifting, sprints, or strong man. The volume and intensity of field work is designed to prepare you for the physical and mental demands found in ALL field sports. Wednesdays will focus on (1) light aerobic work to clear lactic acid from the body and speed recovery for the rest of the weeks training and (2) corrective movements to help to expose weaknesses while at the same time helping overcome them.

Concepts and standards taken from and inspired by CrossFit Football and Power Athlete HQ.

What are training days/times, and training location?

The camp will meet 5 times a week. Monday through Friday, meeting each day from 12:00pm to 1:30pm. For a total of 7.5 of training a week.

Crossfit South Bend 3927 North Home Street Mishawaka IN, 46545

Testimonial: Robert Mischler Basketball Player at Cornell University

Going into the Strength &Conditioning program, I didn’t know what to expect because a lot of the movements and lifts were new to me. What I got out of the program beat my expectations tenfold. Not only was I able to train with my brother every day, but Carl and Brandon provided me and the other trainees the expertise needed to perform each exercise and lift to the best of our abilities. They were very personable and took the time to teach each athlete correct techniques while pushing us to be at our best. I made huge strides in my overall strength, explosiveness, and quickness in the short, ten weeks of training to the point when I got back to school, my Strength & Conditioning coach asked me, “What did you do this summer?” The Summer S&C training camp was a great experience all around and I’ll be back again this summer to do it again.
