Success in athletics is dependent upon your ability to produce power. No matter how strong you are, unless you can apply that strength quickly, it is worthless in competition. Our program is based on sport specific Olympic lifts and core strength lifts. These types of exercises are multi-joint, multi-muscle lifts, which require speed and force to be produced against the ground. The more speed and force you can apply against the ground the more power you will produce. This power (Force X Distance/Time) can be developed in the weight room and transferred into athletic competition.
The Lumberjack Iron Program uses extensive Olympic style weightlifting, core strength training lifts and polymeric training to harness this power needed for competition. When training for power you are also developing strength, speed, agility, flexibility, anaerobic endurance, balance and postural awareness. These Variables are essential in being a great athlete at Humboldt State.
