INTRODUCTION

===============

We have specifically prepared up to 48 weeks of training for you. There are three 16-

week cycles here, one each for the Beginner, the Intermediate and the Advanced.

How do you know where to start? It’s actually pretty simple. Just ask yourself some of

these questions:

Do you move well on your feet?

Do people tell you that you move well on your feet?

Do you feel like you have heavy feet?

Do you have any experience with any of the drills or exercise in The Truth About

Quickness Insider’s System? Are you proficient with them?

Are you truly quick in your games? Are you truly explosive in your games?

Have you been active and are you prepared to handle this type of training?

Based on some of your (honest) answers to those questions, you should have a better idea

of where to start. To be brutally honest, Kelly and I both believe that most athletes should be starting with Cycle I of the Beginner’s program…why?

Well, it’s not like the training in any of the Intermediate or Advanced cycles is that much better; it’s just that it’s more intense than what you’ll find in the Beginner’s cycles.

So, you should only be using the Advanced training programs if you truly need themore intense stimulation to continue to improve. If your body doesn’t need such

intense methods and you still go ahead and use them, you could be looking at a solidrecipe for injury.

Furthermore, you should always strive to use the least intense methods to get the desired

results. If you can get good results using the Beginner programs, then that’s is

absolutely what you need to be doing.

By going ahead and using the Advanced methods when you don’t need them, you are

basically wasting lots of good, easier training that could be giving you the same results.

In a nutshell, this leaves you at the risk of plateauing a lot sooner than you need or

want to be.

So, our general recommendation: Unless you are an experienced, fluid athlete on their

feet, just start with Cycle I of the Beginner’s Program and progress from there.

========================================



THE TRUTH ABOUT QUICKNESS CHECKLIST

========================================

Now, before you begin, Kelly and I want to note a few things.

You should be doing the Ultimate Insider’s Warm-Up as outlined in the DVD before every workout, or at least some version similar to it.

You should probably also be doing some of the stretches and activation exercisesKelly outlined in the DVD. Let’s recap those now:

Foot Activation Drill- 2 x 15/side (Remember 3 points of pressure at the base of

big toe, base of little toe and heel. While maintaining 3 points of pressure lift the

toes and arch up and slowly lower the toes down while attempting to keep thearch raised)

Kneeling Hip Flexor Stretch- 2 x 20 seconds/side

Lying bent knee glute activation- 1 x 12/side (hold for a 3 count at the top).

Remember to contract the abs to increase the intensity of glute activation.

Standing glute activation foot on bench- 1 x 10/side (hold for a 3 count at top).

Remember to keep the plant leg entirely straight and increase the height of the

resting leg, as you get stronger.

=================

WEIGHT TRAINING=================

A lot of athletes and coaches wonder what their weight training should look like inconjunction with The Truth About Quickness training.

First of all, this training should optimally be done before your weight workouts.

Second, this training is more like a tweak to what you’re already doing, instead of

some big, massive overhaul. So, you really shouldn’t be changing much of what you’re

doing already in regards to your weight training.

With that being said, Kelly and I have provided 3, sample, weight training workouts foryou. One for:

Bodyweight training (when you have no equipment)

Beginners (with weight training equipment access)

More Advanced Lifters

Here they are:



========================

Beginning Bodyweight Workout

========================

(Repeat every other day with weekends off)

Bulgarian Split Squat Isometric Hold- 2 x 60 seconds/side (work up to 60 seconds)

Bent Leg Single Leg Deadlift (stand on one leg and try to lower your off knee down andtouch the ground. Use a box or padding to decrease the range-of-motion until you gain

the necessary strength)- 2 x 10/side

Single leg calf raise on block- 2 x as many reps as possible/side (try to work up to 50

reps)

Plank- 1 x 60 seconds (work up to 60 seconds)

Repeat every other day with weekends off.

======================

**Do session A on Monday and B on Thursday, or take 2-3 days in between each

workout and train on a revolving days format**

For exampleMon: session A

Thurs: session B

Sun: session A



Wed: session B

Sat: Session A

Etc.

=================================REMEMBER THIS IN YOUR TRAINING

=================================

Remember the dancing analogy from the DVD? Focus more on ease of movement,

smoothness, proficiency, and “making things easy” rather than struggling to go so fast, so

high, or be so powerful that you tighten up. A good cue to give yourself is 100% speed

at 90% effort. This forces you to emphasize speed while being relaxed.

Also remember to become aware of how your feet are functioning when you move. You

should drive off the ball of your foot at the base of the big toe.

When looking at the routines many athletes are surprised by the relatively low volumes

they contain. It’s important to note that improving in quickness is about QUALITY

rather than QUANTITY .

Keeping the number of exercises and total duration of training relatively brief allows youto focus on IMPROVING each and every session rather than mindlessly going through a

bunch of drills.

We DON’T recommend you go adding a bunch of extra exercises and sets to the

routines. You should leave each workout feeling relatively little fatigue and your last set

should be just as good (or very close) to your first.

Rest Intervals- Rest long enough in between sets so that you can give each set a good

hard, quality effort, but not so long that your muscles become cold. How long that is will

depend on your conditioning levels and the exercise.

Don’t push the pace to the point that you’re huffing and puffing before you even begin

each set. For most people 45 seconds to 2 minutes between sets is about right. Thirtyseconds is probably too short, but 5 minutes is probably too long. A few of the endurance

workouts might have you taking a 3 to 4 minute rest between sets.

If in doubt pretend that the next set you do will be a competition of some sort. Rest

as long as you think you need to be at your best for the competition.
