At Nxt level we have best strength and conditioning program for athletes on Staten island. Though all sports have physical demands, they each have their own distinct training patterns. Our Strength & Conditioning Program trains your athlete to meet the demands of their sport.
Our program design is effective and efficient. Our objective is to prepare the athlete for the more demanding rigors of these sports. Tendons, ligaments and connective tissue are strengthened to withstand the heavy loads of subsequent hits and resist injuries which lead to long recovery periods, which means less playing time. We don’t hold back at Nxt Level, we want all our athletes to perform their sport at peak performance. We do the following…
1) Our athletes will perform Max Effort Upper and Lower Exercises at NLP.
This means that exercises like the Dead Lift, Squats and Bench Press must be
heavy enough that it can only be lifted a maximum of 3-5 times.
2) Our athletes will perform “Jump-Speed” training at NLP.
This means that building Absolute Strength is only one part of the equation. Athletes must be able to transfer their newly-build strength into explosive POWER. To do this athletes must use exercises like Box Jumps, Speed Squats, Bounding and Vertical Jumping.
3) Our athletes will perform “Speed-Flex” training at NLP.
Being big, strong and powerful is not worth your weight in beans if you are tight and slow. Most high school and college football players spend most of their days seated in a classroom or on a couch. This leads to chronically tight hip flexors, gluteus and pec minor. We use a simple 3 step formula that eliminates the most common causes of immobility.
4) Our athletes will condition using “Strongman Conditioning” or GPP circuits at NLP.
Like I mentioned earlier, football is an anaerobic sport. Conditioning for these athletes must emulate the type of energy demands that will be placed on them during a game-like situation. Short-Hard bursts of energy followed by a rest interval. If you still have your athletes running miles and training like a marathoner, then you’ll get what your asking for – a team of kids that look more like Nicole Richie than Jared Allen (DD – Minnesota Vikings).
And believe us… this is just the tip of the iceberg. Nxt Level’s Strength & Conditioning Program is so much more than just a sports performance training program’- it’s a complete system for sure-fire success – a place for athletes to meet each other- NXT is the most comprehensive strength & conditioning program on Staten Island! We don’t train our athletes in a bodybuilding gym with the general public. NXT has it’s own unique facility so why go off the Island or to a bodybuilding gym to send your athlete or team to train.

Training Myths
#1. Strength training will stunt the growth of children.
It still amazes me that parents won’t hesitate to get their young children (6-7 years old) involved in sports such as football, gymnastics, basketball and soccer, yet they feel that participating in a strength-training program is damaging to their children’s bone health and will stunt their growth. Nothing can be further from the truth.
The fact of the matter is that running, jumping and tackling can create loading on a child’s body which is up to ten times greater than most strength training exercises. In other words, the physical demands on a child’s body are far greater on the athletic field compared to the weightroom. Parents who don’t let their children participate in resistance training are actually increasing their children’s risk for injury on the athletic field.
There have even been position stands by such organizations as the American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine and the American Academy of Pediatrics suggesting that children can benefit from participation in a properly designed and supervised resistance training program. Position stands recommend that prepubescent children shouldn’t lift maximal weights; they should lift weights that can be lifted for at least six repetitions with proper form.
Strength training in this manner can be the most potent exercise stimulus for bone growth and development. In fact, research has shown that young weightlifters have greater bone densities than individuals who don’t lift. Thus, the positive benefits of resistance training for bone health, injury prevention and improved athletic performance are far greater than the risks.
#2. Basketball and baseball players shouldn’t lift weights because it’ll make them tight. This will ruin a basketball player’s ability to shoot and a baseball player’s ability to hit and throw.
It amazes me that this myth is still around. After all, check out the success of Michael Jordan, Shaquille O’Neil, Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire, just to name a few. Did the added muscle on their frames ruin their careers? I don’t think so!
First of all, we must not forget that research has shown that full range resistance training is still one of the best ways to develop functional flexibility. A properly designed strength training program, in conjunction with playing your sport, is the best way to make your strength and flexibility gains “sport-specific.”
In other words, one of the reasons that Mr. Olympia, Ronnie Coleman, can’t shoot a basketball like an NBA star is because he doesn’t play basketball as much as they do! It’s that simple.
Let’s also not forget about injury prevention. Basketball is a much more physical game than it used to be. And although baseball isn’t considered a “physical” sport, it’s one of the most stressful sports on your shoulders and lumbar spine. Strength training is imperative to staying healthy and overcoming the muscular imbalances created by playing these sports.
Finally, hitting a baseball, stealing second base and jumping up for a rebound are some of the most explosive activities in all of sports. Without a strong and powerful lower body, you’ll never reach your full potential in these activities.
#3. The best indicators of a good workout are how tired you are after the workout and how sore you are the next day.
This is a myth my most dedicated athletes still have a tough time dismissing. Most hard-working individuals equate a good workout with being exhausted and sore. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had athletes say, “You didn’t even make me puke” after a workout. My response is usually, “I didn’t make you puke because I didn’t want to make you puke. Making you puke would be easy. Getting you stronger, faster and more flexible actually takes some work.”
Puking is one of the most catabolic things you can do to your body. If your goals are increased muscular strength and/or muscular hypertrophy, you should do everything possible not to puke during your training!
Fatigue is another popular indicator people use to rate the productivity of their workouts. Remember that the goal of your training session should dictate how you feel after your workout. For example, if you’re going to perform a plyometric workout with the goal of improving your vertical jump, you shouldn’t be exhausted after the workout.
Actually, a properly designed plyometric workout should stimulate your neuromuscular system and you should feel better than when you started the workout. On the other hand, it’s good to be exhausted after a tough practice that was designed to get you in “game shape” for your given sport.
Finally, I’ve never read any research that links post-exercise soreness to strength gains, hypertrophy gains or improved athletic performance. Who the hell wants to be sore anyway? Think of DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) as an unfortunate side effect of training, not a goal of training.
Remember that it’s easy for a coach to make an athlete tired, but it takes a true professional to get an athlete stronger, faster, more flexible and better conditioned.
