What are some good weight routines for water polo??

• So I got some weights today. Their individual hand barbells. They have: 2 - 3.5lb handles 4 - 1.25lb plates 8 - 2.5lb plates so these are the only weights I have really, i have a water polo ball though. And i want to build up some muscle for water polo this summer and next school year. what are some good routines that i can easily do in a few minutes in the morning and/or evening, and what are some medium and harder workouts too?

• Answer:

  Do a full body weight routine: Legs, back, chest, shoulders, arms on odd days. Six to ten exercises are ideal. Do two to three sets of ten to fifteen reps. Do less on easy days, more on hard days. Do a bodyweight workout on even days: Make a circuit and do it five times (or less to go easier). For instance: Squats x 20 Push-ups x 20 Sit-ups x 20 Pull-ups x 10. Any exercises will work Do between three and six different types of exercises. You can get ideas for it on youtube by searching "bodyweight exercises". Here's some general principles to follow. 1. Start slow and build up gradually. 2. If it hurts, stop. 3. Vary the workouts weekly and monthly. Always mix things up. 4. Polo needs swimming. Getting in the water is your best bet. 5. Get a partner to do it with and have fun. Good luck.
