Question Hello,
what sort of diet and training routine would i need in ordered to dynamically increase my over power? and would it be possible to keep my size relatively low?
many thanks,
Nicholas
Answer Nicholas, you most definitely need to be focused on sports-specific training, whichever sport that may be. Regularly perform exercises that mimic the actions you take in your sport. You also should incorporate plyometric exercises in every workout. This is an exercise that you incorporate a stretch then a jump (like a jump squat) to increase overall strength. Plyometrics really get your heart rate elevated and will NOT increase your overall size. As far as diet goes, I tell everyone to eat as clean as possible--foods closest to their natural state--and be sure you're getting lots of lean protein around every workout to feed those hard working muscles!
