Who's it for? Youth Athletes
 
This is a 12 week program broken into 4 phases made for youth athletes.  Age is not always the best way to determine if an athlete is ready to start a training program. My advice is to start when they are interested and want to train. This stage of training is not about getting stronger. It's about learning the fundamentals in terms of movement patterns and exercises. Yes you will see some training adaptations and increased strength but the priority should be in quality movement through positions and technique.  It is highly recommended that a youth sized barbell is used for the barbell exercises instead of a full sized 45lb bar. Each session will start with a power block consisting of some type of total body power exercise or plyometric exercise.  The power block will be paired with 2 other exercises to be completed in tri set fashion.  The second block will be the primary strength block consisting of the primary movement of the day along with 2 other exercises to be completed in tri set fashion.  Finally the last block is a secondary strength and accessory block consisting of 2-3 exercises to also be completed in tri set fashion. Most days will end in an accessory exercise paired with a carry variation
