This volleyball weight training program sample includes explosive exercises as well as strength building activities to improve game skills and prevent common injuries. For tips about how your program can closely match demands of volleyball, see

Use this basic format 3 days per week varying exercises, with sets and reps within ranges indicated for 5-6 weeks of conditioning.
After the conditioning phase, test maximums on power snatch, back squat, and bench press before setting up next phase.
Generally, increase the training load by lowering the number of repetitions, increasing number of sets and weight loads, but also make adjustments for individuals based on testing. Continue training in phases following the
Training Step Process.
Peak during the season by maintaining strength-power levels at 2-days training per week.
