It is an 85 page eBook that is broken down like this:
Page 1: Cover
Page 2: Program Details
Page 3: Guidelines and Rules
Page 4: Needs Analysis
Page 5: Terminology
Pages 6-16: Pages that you would print off and take into the gym with you. It's the actual workout.
Pages 17-85: Photos and explanation of how to correctly do each exercise.
That would basically be the table of contents for the book. It is a 16 week workout that is 2 days/week. I think the exercises are good for catchers. In my opinion, I prefer a workout program that is at least 3 or 4 days/week and has some sort of conditioning in there as well.
I was kind of hoping that it would read a little more like a book, but it is just a workout program. I'm sure if you perform the workout you will get stronger, but it's not something you would sit down and read and learn much from. Honestly though, that's my mistake. I was assuming there would be more to it than just the workout but I shouldn't have because it wasn't advertised as such.
Exactly. The purpose of this 85-page Ebook was to introduce a 16-week, 2 days/week Catcher Specific Strength Training Program. It was intended to show how to perform the exercises given in each phase. I've had numerous emails and inquiries from parents and coaches about writing a strength program for athletes that was only 2 days/week. So, I designed a program specific to that.
There were no energy system specific training exercises or conditioning exercises because that wasn't the focus. The focus was 2 days/week of Strength Training.
