The McIntosh weight training program went through major changes in supplies and schedule for the weight training program last year. The program bought top of the line Rouge plyometrics boxes, and athletes are starting to notice the difference.

Senior Cole Burnett said, “The new boxes with the two inch and six inch risers have improved my explosiveness, and being made of high density foam instead of wood has assured us because we are no longer afraid to scrape our shins.”

The program is always editing its schedule to have the most benefit to the students and has eliminated the intermediate class so that every student is held to the same standard. The program has been using the percentage-based workouts, but the cards used to determine the percentages have been simplified.
