Here’s a circuit from our team platform that gave me all the feels💪🏼 Contrast strength and power training, aka PAP or post activation potentiation, is a training strategy I’ve used with athletes at every level since the very beginning. It’s tremendously effective at achieving a myriad of athletic goals, especially explosive strength and power. Lezz goo! Without going too deep into the exercise science weeds, contrast training involves lifting something heavy and then following it with a lighter, higher speed movement of similar pattern to follow. In this circuit we do that on repeat for 15-18 minutes utilizing short reps and a full body spread of movements to help us build a tolerance to high speed strength and power over longer periods of time. A form of HICT or work capacity training. 🔥Come train with the Ridgeline Athlete team! Online training written by a real coach who is in the trenches in training, in the mountains & as a full time trainer.
