Routine for Strength & Explosive

[jmil7]

I would like an opinion on my current routine. I am 18 y/o 5’9 175. I play baseball and have a previous injury that does not allow me to bench (I eventually will be able to just not now). My goals are to increase powerlifting lifts (except bench), increase explosiveness, and possibly in the future do Olympic lifting.
Routine: (When exercises are back to back they are super set.)
Monday:
Squat 5x5

RDL 3x8
Ham Curls 3x8

Split squat 3x10
Calf raises 3x10

Step ups 3x8 Each Side
Burpees 3x10

Tuesday:
Jerk 5x2

Light weight shoulder press 3x10
Rear delt flys 3x10

Single arm rows 3x8 Each Arm
Shrugs 3x8

Pull ups 4x8
Push ups 4x14

Wednesday:
Front squat 5x5

Med ball slams 3x8
Med ball jump throws 3x8

Single leg med ball slams 3x4 Each Leg
Backwards Med ball tosses 3x8

Thursday: Rest

Friday:
Box squat 5x5

Hang clean 4x3

Power clean 3-3-3-1-1

Power shrug from the floor 4x5

Kettle bell swings 3x12
Box jumps 3x5

Saturday: Rest

Sunday:
Dead lift 5x3

Land mines 3x10
Cable core rotations 3x6 ES

Single arm land mines 3x5 Each Arm
Push ups 3x14

Pull ups 3xfailure

Rest 1 day and then repeat so the exercises will shift 1 day

I also do HIIT sprint training 4 days a week which involves a,b,c skips sprints, vertical jumps, broad jumps, and form running. It usually lasts about 30 minutes. I also do bands for my shoulder 5 times a week which takes about 15-20 minutes. I also practice baseball specific activities 1-2 hr on average 6 days a week.
Thanks any advice is appreciated.

Progression?

How much is baseball a priority -looking to play seriously at college/division 1 etc?

[jmil7]

I have a 305 max squat (about a month ago). I have a 365 deadlift (1.5 monthes ago). Both lifts without compromising much form if any. Baseball is a high priority. I am looking to play in college next year. Thanks

You can do all the things, at own risk of becoming a jack of all trades master of none kinda deal, but ffs be clear about what your priority is.

For explosiveness there’s a search button in the upper right corner of the page. Search terms like explosiveness, plyometrics, jumps etc. and sort by latest topic or whatever to come up with some good stuff.

Weights and Plyometrics - Jump Training Efficiency

Some info about me: 23 yrs young, I’m 5’9 , weight around 72kg ( 185 lbs ) , 2 foot jumper. (not so strong). Max squat 225lbs x5 bench is 198 x5 pull ups with extra 66 lbs x5 Been training for years at basketball ( not professionally , but been on a team), and vertical jump. I think I have researched about the jump and athletic topic alot, read dozens if not hundreds of post , lots of articles from famous coaches (Vertical jump bible , Joel Defranco etc) and even done some programs before…

Low Plyo Ability?

Hi fellas, My goals are improving sprinting mechanics and conditioning, it’s pretty “funny” because at 85 kilos and 187cms I can static jump only 40 cm high and my running acceleration is horrendous. Especially considering I do 100 meters in 13 seconds and 300 in 41,7. My 1RM are 155 kl Squat, 210 kl Deadlift and 120 kl Bench Press. Regarding my bodyfat percentage, I’m not sure, I see my abs a bit and lots of veins over them. Maybe round 10% I play soccer and aim going pro soon, so is crucia…

Ok, if training 6 times a week for baseball alone and its a priority you need to back waay off the extra workouts and train in a more integrated way or injuries are going to start sneaking in and shoulders will be permanently pissed off. Game day performance is what matters not being a hero in the gym.

Try thisbelow, -good all in one for your needs, add in an extra day of rest here and there. Also ask Thib some questions in his forum…

and have a previous injury that does not allow me to bench

What injury?

Also, what position do you play?

More than few things wrong with your program, so I’d suggest just doing this strength program from Eric Cressey. Cressey works with a ton of baseball players, so basically anything from him is gold for you.
