How to Increase your Strength and Athleticism

Many people oftern find themselves wanting to increase some regards of their athletic performance. It appears very difficult and confusing when it really isn't. 

To increase your Athletic performance I recommend plyometrics and strength based exercises. Not body building based strength training (hypertrophy). In moderation hypertrophy can, and will be beneficial. However, many days a week of strict bicep curls is not going to help you jump higher or run faster. 

Plyometric excersices include, 

Bounds 

Front Box Jump 

Lateral Box Jumps 

Skater Jumps 

Scissor Jumps 

Lateral Box Shuffles

When doing these activities in conjunction with compound weights exercises such as, squats, bench press, and core exercises your athletic potential and abilities will sky rocket and will prove to be a huge problem for you opposition. If you want to investigate more, and skyrocket your athleticism and strength I would strongly recommending taking a look at the following links.
