The Scientific Benefits of Strength Training
Strength training isn’t just about building muscle—it’s a scientifically proven way to enhance overall health and athletic performance. Here are some key benefits:
- Increased Bone Density: Regular strength training improves bone health and reduces the risk of osteoporosis. Research from the National Osteoporosis Foundation highlights strength training as a key intervention for maintaining bone health.
- Boosted Metabolism: Building muscle increases your resting metabolic rate, helping you burn more calories throughout the day. A study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology found that strength training can elevate metabolism for up to 38 hours post-workout.
- Improved Athletic Performance: A stronger foundation enhances speed, power, and agility across all physical activities. Studies show that athletes who incorporate focused strength training see significant improvements in their sprint times and vertical jumps.
- Injury Prevention: Strengthening muscles, tendons, and ligaments helps protect your body from injuries. Research in the American Journal of Sports Medicine emphasizes that strength training reduces the risk of sports-related injuries by up to 50%.
- Better Mental Health: Strength training releases endorphins, reducing stress and improving mood. The Anxiety and Depression Association of America notes that regular strength training can significantly alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression.
What Makes the Strength & Power Program Different from CrossFit?
While CrossFit is known for its high-intensity, constantly varied workouts that build overall fitness, our Strength & Power Program zeroes in on progressive, structured strength training. Here’s how it stands out:
- Targeted Focus on Strength: Unlike CrossFit’s broader approach, this program prioritizes building strength and power through squats, deadlifts, presses, and Olympic lifts. We compliment these lifts with functional movements like carries, sled pushes.
- Expert-Led Classes: The program is led by Mason Clemens, CSCS, M.S. Kinesiology, ensuring professional guidance and scientifically backed progressions.
- Focused, High-Quality Training: Sessions emphasize deliberate, methodical lifting with appropriate rest periods to maximize performance and technique. Small class sessions guarantee highly personalized and deliberate training.
- Standalone or Add-On: It’s perfect as a dedicated strength program for those focused solely on building strength or as an add-on for CrossFit athletes looking to enhance their performance.
