STRENGTH & CONDITIONING LINKS |
The three primary goals of the strength and conditioning program at AU are to increase athleticism, reduce injury and increase mental/physical toughness. This is accomplished by primarily utilizing free-weight, ground based, multi-joint, explosive exercises. Athletes perform exercises of all types but focus is put on three main genres: Olympic lifting, Powerlifting and Plyometric. The goal is to try and replicate the velocities and forces that are experienced during competition.
