BSPA™ Training Principles
The following training principles have been designed to attain maximum results and maximum functionality. As with everything you must work your way slowly into these principles as some of the techniques are advanced and if you rush it there is the potential for injury. Always seek the guidence of a qualified trainer if you are unsure of how to perform any exercises correctly. We recommend seeking the advice of your doctor before undertaking any training program.
- Be consistent with your training. Training 2 x a week for a long time is better then 5 x a week for only 2 weeks.
- In general use a tempo of 2 seconds to lower the weight and an explosive 1 second to move the weight
- Don't lock out your joints on the movements (especially under acceleration)
- Stick with each program for a minimum of 6 weeks before changing it
- Utilize large full body exercises (eg squat, power clean, clean and press etc) in each workout
- Perform Resistance training before your cardio if doing it in the same training session
- Allow adequate recovery days between training sessions
- After 6 months of continuous training take 2 weeks off from any training
- Train for functionality first and aesthetics last.
As with all the BSPA™ Principles try to include a little bit more each time you train, don't just try to turn around your whole training and nutrition program in one hit. Slow and steady means you will successfully make the changes and stick to them.
