Strength Training Tips For Young Athletes

Strength training makes all the other training and sports activity comparatively easily, and enhances your endurance. This is the reason why many young athletes train for strength the first thing.

Here are four tips to make sure you are getting the most out of your strength training!

Do Planks

Almost every task in the gym will require you to have static stability in the torso. For a strong torso, you need to understand how to train the core, and get at least good at planking. Planking is the exercise for beginners to help them know their muscles and then work upon them accordingly.

Learn To Hinge

A hip hinge is done by shifting the weight gradually and entirely to your heels, slightly bending your knees, and flexing your hip muscles until your torso almost parallel to the floor. Make sure that your back is straight and tight during the exercise.

Don’t Fall For The Hype

Performance training is a billion dollar industry, and unfortunately, it doesn’t require any proper licensing or degree to get into. Literally anyone can open up a facility or start up a training camp with a little fortune and information off the internet. Such training centers may try to woo you with fancy phrases like “focusing on central nervous system” and “sport specific training” and lure you in, but you have to beware of these buzzwords thrown carelessly on their sites. Make sure that you ask plenty of questions to gauge their authenticity and then make a decision. Here’s an example of some questions to ask.

Don’t Train Or Eat “Like The Pros”

In health and fitness industry, celebrity endorsement plays a huge part in sales. You probably have seen ads in which says “Include this supplement in your diet because so and so does”, and the said celebrity may not even use that supplement at all. Also, if you are new to training, don’t dramatically change your portions and take it slow, so that your body doesn’t go into a shock, and you can reap the benefits of the training accordingly.

No training is complete without the right training garb, and the first step of training well is dressing accordingly. This is why at CRUSHiT, we have a wide range of products from shooting sleeves to wicket t-shirts and gloves to make your training session more rewarding. Browse our collection here.
