This program is designed with the beginner athlete in mind. It also takes into account the fact that some will not perform weight training unless is it done on machines. Even though it is recommended to incorporate less stable and more functional weight training, it is better to use machines than not to strength train at all. This program will have you ready for your sport in 4-5 months and is good for those just getting started in weight training, for those who are not comfortable with or not able to perform less stable and more functional lifting protocols. You must be at least 16 y/o and cleared to exercise by your physician to participate. If you are looking for an introduction to weight training that will get you started to improved performance and body composition then this is your starting line. Go for it!
