Shift Program

$59.00

Shift is made for athletes who have developed a good level of strength but do not jump very high for how strong they are. An example is someone who can deep squat double body weight but has a relative vertical (approach jump divided by height) of less than 0.5. In this situation, getting stronger is unlikely to produce improvements in athleticism. Instead we are trying to shift the body toward being more explosive and bouncy. There are more thorough guidelines on using PhD or Shift in the graph below.

The program has 10 weeks of training focused on getting more explosive, plus a 3-week strength phase that can be used to get a quick boost before repeating the program if necessary.

The workouts include jump practice, sprinting, plyometrics, and strength training. The strength work in the 10-week shift phase is minimal and very strategic. Warmup, stretching, and therapeutic exercises are also included.
The schedule consists of 2-4 workouts per week and therapeutic exercises that can be done daily if needed. The amount of training allows athletes to spend some time playing their sport as well.
The program is repeatable, so you can use it for as long as you need.
Instructional videos for each exercise are included.

If you are unsure about using Shift or PhD, use the graph below to make the decision. Height, weight, deep squat max, and maximum approach vertical are required. Plot a point on the graph using relative vertical and relative strength. The side of the line the point falls on shows which program should be used.
