UNDERGROUND ARTICLES Six Cornerstones of Compound Conditioning By Greg Mihovich Today I will discuss what kind of elements, or blocks if you wish, a well though out and balanced program is made of. One of the reasons I call my system of physical exercise Compound Conditioning is that it balances out all of these elements. Pretty much everything you would do exercise-wise could be broken down into six key components: • Range of Motion (Active, Dynamic & Static) • General Physical Preparedness (GPP) • Strength (Maximum Strength, Absolute Strength, Relative Strength, Speed Strength, Strength-Endurance & some other kinds) • Agility • Speed • Special Physical Preparedness (SPP) It doesn’t matter if you are a competitive athlete or just a recreational one – your training needs to be balanced between those six categories according to your unique needs, as well as your strengths and weaknesses. For reasons why I consider everybody who is into physical training an athlete you should look into my article Another Case for Functional Training. The only exception from addressing all of six key components would be including SPP training for non-competitive athletes, because they don’t have a sport, within which they would practice their SPP skills. Although even non-competitive folks would benefit greatly, as well as have a lot of fun, from including some specific sport training into their exercise regimen, like kickboxing or basketball for example.
