"Gymnasts should be doing exercises and training that directly relate to the sport, and nothing more."
—Dr. Bill Sands
Our Goal
Our training philosophy for the Gymnast is to achieve maximal power and strength that conforms to gymnastic-specific movements, without adding size or weight. Our goal is to target specific muscles and movements pertinent to improving gymnastic quality and competitive performance usi
Why Weightlifting?
Gymnasts require immense leg and core power to improve performance of lifts, explosiveness on floor exercise routines, refine vertical straight body lines in all activities and improve stuck landings on Vault, Uneven Bars and Balance Beam. Strength and power gains are extremely beneficial, as long as, the strength conforms to gymnast-specific movements.
Annual Training Philosophy
Our Gymnast training system:
Off-Season
Pre-Season
Maintenance Season
Competition Season
Active Rest Season
A Needs Analysis of the Athlete is performed to initiate the training program with proper exercise selection and training load that will enhance the athlete's season. In order to determine the outcome of the athlete's training cycles, all resistance exercises and weights are charted from start to completion of training program.
