Objective: The off-season weight training programs were developed for one reason, and one reason only; TO GET BIGGER,STRONGER, AND FASTER.

Off-season weight training is not for the faint of heart. This is a NO-NONSENSE approach to increased muscle mass. Slammers only offers this in the off-season because of the players inablility to play sports successfully while in the program. It is advised that athletes are not enrolled in winter sports or school weight training if applying. (Although exceptions can be made)This is largely due to the fact that over-training is the number one reason "hardgainers" do not gain weight. Applicants are accepted on a case by case basis. It is advised that all applicants are over 15 years of age. Participants will enjoy the benefits of wholesale prices on supplements and equipment, weight lifting and nutritional journals/logs, and membership to the Slammers Gym. Off-Seasom Weight Training:
