Professional strength coaches have a tough job!
They are under intense pressure to ensure their athletes perform on the highest level each and every day. To keep athletes on a strict workout regimen, coaches look to a variety of qualities when choosing resistance training equipment. In this blog we’ll cover a few of the properties that are required to make the short list of go to resistance training equipment for professional strength coaches.
Durability
When strength coaches look at purchasing equipment, durability is always a huge concern. Equipment that will stand the test of time is always more beneficial than equipment that will exhibit issues or prevent safety problems in a short amount of time.
Safety
Safety is paramount when it comes to resistance training equipment. With millions of dollars potentially on the line for professional athletes, their safety should always be considered when weighing the benefits and drawbacks of certain training equipment. Thankfully resistance training equipment when used correctly offers a safe and efficient way of training compared to other higher impact exercises that can much more easily increase the risk of injury.
Progression Training
Progression training is another go-to training method used for decades by professional strength coaches. Many athletes go to the gym regularly but are dumbfounded as to why they are not getting stronger. With progression training athletes gradually increase the weight or resistance placed on their body during a workout, which forces their bodies to grow bigger and stronger to handle the increase in demand.
Speed
Speed is increasingly important for professional athletes. Strength trainers can utilize resistance training drills to increase speed and agility that can be wildly widely beneficial for all types of sports.
Increased Range of Motion
Professional athletes of all shapes and sizes use resistance training equipment to increase their range of motion. Famous athletes like Tom Brady have been using resistance bands as of late to increase their range of motion. Brady’s trainer Gunnar Peterson feels confident that by using resistance training equipment Brady is able to strengthen his entire body through changing the planes of motion for each exercise. Brady’s trainers focus on range of motion and core strength as opposed to solely focusing on lifting heavier weights, which don’t offer the benefits of a balanced resistance training regimen.
