Athlete Development

"If you want to play big time ball you have to train like it.  I know that no place in Little Rock will make you a better athlete than RSS!"

What separates Ross Strength and Speed (RSS) from the competition is its approach to coaching and training techniques. We spend time coaching and educating our clients so they will have solid techniques that will be with them for a lifetime. Where others may choose easier machine-type exercises that require little or no coaching, RSS prides itself in having its clients learn and perform exercises (such as the Olympic lifts) better than anyone else.

Training consists of progressive stages. These stages will allow athletes to develop their skills at a pace that will improve their performance as well as decrease the incidence of injury in sporting or recreational pursuits.

The first segment of every session focuses on:

  • •Strength and Explosiveness
    •Speed Development
    •Conditioning
    •Power
    •Agility
    •Acceleration/Deceleration
    •Movement Mechanics
    •Balance

The second segment of a session focuses on strength-training to improve performance. Athletes will learn and perform correct explosive weightlifting movements (cleans, snatches, etc.) as well as front squats, bench presses, and many more functional strengthening exercises.

In addition to athlete performance development, a great emphasis is placed on passing the eye test. RSS wants their athletes/clients to build lean muscle and get leaner if needed. Self-confidence is key to performance and looking athletic is often not emphasized with other programs. This is accomplished by special modifications added to diet, training, supplementation, and recovery.

Sessions are held 3 times per week at a cost of $325 per month. There are no contracts required.
