You can't always control the basketball talent on your team, but you can put a bigger, stronger, more confident team on the court this season.

Lon Record provides a revealing look into the Villanova Men's Basketball Off-Season Strength Training Program. Record's program incorporates a balance between pushes and pulls, to create a balance in strength, to help keep the body loose and to allow athletes to do more in a shorter span. Using various planes of movement, Record ensures that the muscles will be fully trained from every angle possible.

The program includes a warm-up utilizing movements that are specific to the workout that will follow. Record teaches you the "technique builders" that he uses from the day an athlete first walks into the weight room until the time he leaves school. By going through these basics with proper form, Record builds a solid foundation for a player's physical development.

Record splits up the lower body exercises into three separate movements: Squat Progression, Single Leg Movements and Lower Body Pulls.

The upper body segment follows the same premise of building on technique before progressing on to more advanced movements. Record demonstrates a routine to correctly warm-up the shoulder muscles to help prevent injury from the pushing and pulling exercises that will ensue.

Record balances this workout by maintaining a proper balance of pushes, pulls, and a combination set of exercises where he teaches you how to superset the movements to keep a consistent pace in the weight room.

The days of stretching on your backside are over! Alan Stein demonstrates how your warm-up before any type of workout or practice can set the tone both mentally and physically for the activity to follow.

WARM-UP
The goal of a proper warm-up is to make the muscles more elastic and to lubricate the joints, getting the body prepared for exercise.

In Stien's Full-Court Series, players execute the movements they will use when playing: sprinting, backpedaling, sliding and jumping.

The Tempo Series includes eight exercises mimicking game situations. Players are required to adjust from accelerating to decelerating with pivots and close-outs.

Stein incorporates a basketball and tennis ball for both the Ball Series and Tennis Ball Series. These series loosen up hips, core, and ankles while simultaneously working on communication skills and increasing dexterity.

FLEXIBILITY
Dynamic flexibility exercises are used to increase player's range of motion and mobility. Learn nine half-court movements and seven more stationary drills you can use if you are limited by space.
