  • A lot of footballers who weight lift are lifting wrong and are only increasing their risk of injury.
    If you are one of those players who don’t believe or are not fully convinced that players should spend time in the weight room let me stop you right there.
    For some reason, our sport has been the slowest of all major sports to catch onto strength training. I am here to show you the importance of why hitting the gym is an important aspect for better performance on the pitch.

    Just discovered this channel. Very informative and straight to the point. I played soccer and am looking back to getting into it. I love lifting but was intertwined with my goals these past couple of months. I wanted to increase my Squat, Deadlift, and Bench. However, I also wanted to design my own program that would allow me to increase my main 3 lift numbers and become a better soccer player. These videos are a refresher on CSCS material (which I obtained in 2019) but with the help of your videos, I have learned how to apply these S&C concepts into the beautiful game! :)

    • @ArmasStrength
      @ArmasStrength  Před 3 lety +6

      A corrective stability exercise is what you do to help "fix" weak points i.e. a weak core, glutes, scapula, ect. Most of these exercises target smaller muscles, stabilizers, and/or help correct compensations or bad patterns.

    Even these workouts will change your playing style. If you dont need more mudcle on the field dont train to gain muscle but just try to maintain them and work on your joints and your movements. Believe me, ive done alot of research and im a physical coach at a professional club. For example take Messi’s playing style. If he would train to gain muscle the weight of the muscles would slow him down in HIS quick dribbles. But HIS sprints will be quicker. You can also see Ronaldo’s transformation trough the years. At united he was very agile and quick in his feet. Later when he discoverd the gym he became more of a allround striker. Still very fast but heavier. His playing style went more from light feet dribbles to explosive sprint dribbles.

    • @ArmasStrength
      @ArmasStrength  Před 4 lety +7

      Hard to say without knowing information about yourself such as training age, goal, etc. A safe place for everyone is to be between 6-12 reps for your compound lifts (squats. deadlifts, pull-ups). The lower the weight the high the reps and vice versa.
      You can even do something like this:
      Week 1: 12 reps
      Week 2: 10
      Week 3: 8
      ect.
      Keep cycling this and give yourself an unload week and you will see results as long as you progress weight.
      Hope that helps. Cheers.

      It's not bad to do reps as bodybuilders. Like everything. there is a time and place for that. However, depending on what point in season you're in should be a huge influencer in what your weight room training looks like.
      This is how I program phases for athletes: starting strength, hypertrophy, max, strength, power.
      Your goal as an athlete is to be the most powerful during season.

He started to regress. My brother tested his strength ratio hams to quads. An athlete should be around 80%. His hams were barely 50. This is a Texas 5A school. I had many trainers that are 100% behind me. Mayo clinic says it takes 6 weeks to lose gains you made in the gym. It's a Tx High school football group, 20,000 members. I speak my mind.

    IMO, this video displays the dangerous crossover between physiotherapy and weightlifting. Yes, injury prevention, fatigue management requires some exercise specialization, but anyone who thinks that basic weight lifting won't make you stronger, faster, more powerful and more injury resilient is incredibly confused. Yes, you have to learn to express strength into power and speed, but muscle is muscle and muscle raises power/strength/speed potential. Don't be one of those PT's who manages to keep their clients injury-free but also doesn't put any strength or muscle on them, because they only do silly, complex exercises instead of just moving some damn weight.

      @@ArmasStrength I think you catered the video almost too well to youtube fitness and we weren't synonymous on what a bodybuilder actually is. There's the bodybuilder who trains heavy, explosively and athletically to get strong, fit and healthy and there's the instagram model who does chest flies and leg extensions and gets big through "supplements". Anyone who supports the former and opposes the latter has my respect and support.

      @@u.sgrant7526 I can see where there could be confusion on what a bodybuilder is but I believe when an athlete thinks of bodybuilder they think of the IG model. This has been my experience at least based on clients and followers.
      If you watch the whole video you can realize to the intent of why I created this.
      If I can get at least one athlete to be smarter with his/her training and not take influence from superset burnouts of chest flys every other day and instead perform controlled single leg rdls then that's a step further right direction.

      To simplify: Not like a bodybuilder, fast concentrics, lower rep ranges for max strength, etc.
