How Paul Rabil Builds Explosive Lower-Body Power and Upper-Body Strength
Paul Rabil is without doubt the best lacrosse player on the planet. His size, power and muscle mass, combined with his explosive shooting ability (he’s been clocked at 111 mph), make him a lethal offensive weapon anywhere on the field.
Paul developed these assets with a high-volume weight training routine that builds explosive lower-body power and upper-body extension strength. The result: full-body dominance whenever Paul has a stick in his hand.
