At Conrad Strength and Speed we use training methods that have been proven by research and experience.
Personalization
The movements used in workouts are not selected because they are popular on social media or because they will simply make you tired. Each movement is selected to fit the abilities of each client. Some 65 year-olds may be able to move like the 16 year old training next to them, but that doesn’t mean that their workouts should be the same. Each body is different. Different flexibility, different body weight, different muscular strength, different bone density, and different susceptibility to injury just to name a few. With these factors under consideration, each workout is designed to optimally train towards your goals.
Large Body Movements
Movements where multiple joints and muscles will be the priority for most clientele. When you think “most bang for your buck” exercises these are your winners. Squats, rows, presses, lunges, Olympic lifts, and the variations of these and other movements help us to develop the most strength and to burn more calories as we work.
Unilateral Movements
One leg at a time or one arm at a time help to balance our body. Typically, most people have a dominant side that is stronger or may be more flexible than the other side (think about throwing a ball with each arm). Through the use of movements with dumbbells or other equipment working one arm or one leg at a time will help to develop both sides of the body and work balance and coordination.
