work out for 15 year old.

Need more info such as athletic history, size, strengths, weaknesses, goals, etc.

papabear, great moniker.
And welcome to the HSBBW.
You have come to the right site for info.
And at the right time in your son's development.

I'm sure someone can help you here.
But you might also want to talk to someone in person about baseball Specific training. EH

Jon,
He has been playing baseball since 5 yo and is now playing HS ball. He is 5'9 140 lbs, very strong arm...plays SS.Needs to gain strength to
compete with the upper classmen. Any advice on about this workout would be greatly appreciated.
Is ther anything else you need to know?
thanks

Thanks, Can you provide his workout history (if he has never strength trained that's ok, just need to know) and other sport activities.

Jon,
He only plays baseball and he weight trained last off season from nov. to march. That was his 1st experience with it.

What you posted was basically a bodybuilding routine.

Sadly, many baseball programs are designed this way with no care for what really creates athletic baseball players.

Baseball-specific programs should focus on developing speed and reactive strength, dynamic hip & trunk mobility , posterior chain dominance and ballistic motor pattersn, just to name a few.

While your program did include some exercises I use as staples in my athletes programs (deadlifts, squats) I worry that your son will not be performing them effectively or efficiently.

I would suggest a more athletic-based protocol with the addition of tumbling, GPP, dynamic movement patterns, shoulder pre-hab and sufficient core work in addition to weight training.

This can all be done in 30-45 minutes when done correctly.

It's not about the weight on the bar or some magical exercise, rather the real results come from a proper program that focuses on well-rounded athleticism, not just isolation exercises.

Not sure if this helps or makes you more confused, it's very difficult to convey this message through words on a forum.

Please let me kno wif you have any further questions.

I like Jon's ideas. Training for sports is becoming much more dynamic--a lot more to it than just going to the weight room. There are so many types of functional training methods today--it's best to keep doing research and asking questions. The program you have listed may help to build some strength in a beginner, but it is not diversified enough to continually improve athletic performance.

MAXX

MAXX,
Could you recommmend a workout for a 15 yo, who has about 12-16 wekks of strength trainning experience. What lifts should stay and what should be taken out and replaced with other ones?
Thanks,
PAPABEAR

Papabear, go to my website and click on "training programs." There is a complete explanation of how I set up basic programs, and there are also samples. It is completely free and you can download any of it to modify on Word or Excel. If after reading it, you still have questions, please let me know.
