Athletic Strength

Strength is defined as the highest level of force an athlete can possibly generate.

Athletic strength is the application of this force to your sport.

This sort of strength is also known as functional dynamic strength. The Build Solid Training Systems have been designed to allow the athlete to gain the ability to generate this much-needed functional dynamic strength.

To demonstrate how our systems address the development of athletic strength we can analyze for example the bench press. The bench press is a useful exercise to produce strength so while it is seen in our workouts it is coupled with athletic movements or to teach the athlete how to use the strength they are gaining.

Many athletes place entirely too much emphasis on having the highest possible “max” on traditional lifts such as squats or bench press. All a high number shows is that your good at bench pressing or squatting. You want to be good at your sport as well. How often is an athlete on their back pressing an even surface away from them with two hands?

Again, we come back to the outdated “the it’s always been” idealism. Our system will enable the athlete to utilize the strength gained from bench-pressing or squatting by strengthening the chest muscles along with the rest of the body as one functional dynamic  unit. By doing this the player will be trained to be an athlete, instead of a power lifter. The Build Solid Training System of course addresses all aspects of the complex movement machine that is the human body. Bench press was simply chosen to demonstrate the over all idea behind the systems modern, scientific, usable strength gain approach.
