Over the Block

The main goal of our training program is to improve the athletic performance of handball players by providing targeted exercises and training plans that are specifically tailored to the demands and movements of handball. In "Over the Block" special focus is on your acceleration, your jumping power and your general handball-specific athleticism.

"Over the Block" includes training plans for almost six months. The units from Monday to Friday are shown to you every week in the FB Athletic app. There are four main phases in total, which are divided into seven chapters. The chapters last two to four weeks. Each chapter contains a new training plan that progressively increases the intensity. Most weeks include two strength units, one unit with a biomechanical focus and two units for health promotion and injury prevention.

After you have downloaded the FB Athletic APP from your APP Store, you can activate the program with a simple click on the Over the Block banner under the "Programs" tab via in-app purchase. Immediately after purchase, all content is available to you without restrictions.

After much deliberation, we decided on the price of €139.99. When you compare the quality, duration and availability of this program, FB Athletic is significantly lower than other market providers.

The program is generally suitable for handball players from the age of 14 and can then be used successfully in any age group. However, younger athletes can also use the program if the coach considers the athletes individually suitable for strength training.

If your child is unsure, there is always the possibility for a personal conversation and advice with Felix.

The information videos also address individual characteristics for each phase so that possible adjustments can be made to suit the performance level.

In the case of an acute injury to the lower extremities, we recommend professional support from rehabilitation trainers. Depending on medical advice, the injury phase during an injury to the upper extremities can be used specifically to work on your own resistance to injury.

If you are ill for a period of time during the 6 months, you should go back 2 weeks from your last training level and resume the training of the program from there.

To get the most out of "Over the Block" you need access to your club's weight room or a conventional gym. There should also be enough space for jumping exercises and it is advantageous if there are different surfaces of different hardness (grass, hall).

Here is a list of special materials you will need:

• barbell
• medicine ball
• lacrosse ball
• fascia roll
• resistance band
• Pezzi Ball
• kettlebells
• dumbbells

However, we also provide alternatives for many exercises. If you are unable to perform an exercise due to a lack of materials and need an alternative, please feel free to contact us.

It is currently not possible to download the exercise videos and content to use them offline. Ideally, you are connected to WiFi at the training location or have a sufficiently large data volume available. However, you can also watch the exercise videos at home and then just enter your values ​​to avoid high data consumption.

We are already working on the download function and plan to make it available at the end of July 2024.

"Over the Block" was specially designed so that you can supplement your upper body athletic training on the Functionality, Core and Recovery days (two each per week). We are already working on an extension of an upper body program.
