Meet Armstrong Lazenby – AFL Performance Specialist

Hey, I’m Armstrong Lazenby, and I want to help you dominate your AFL pre season. I’ve trained over 500 athletes, competed on Ninja Warrior, and worked with players who’ve made it to AFL level.

The truth is, most players waste their pre season doing the wrong training. They run endless laps, do generic gym programs, and wonder why they’re not getting picked for teams.

If you want to make it in AFL, you need to train like the pros train. Not like a weekend warrior. Check out the official AFL site for more about what it takes.

Get in Control of Your Body & The Way It Looks for the Rest of Your Life

AFL is the toughest sport in the world. You need explosive power, incredible endurance, and the ability to take hits and keep going. Generic fitness programs won’t cut it.

You need AFL-specific training that builds the exact fitness, strength, and skills that coaches are looking for. The Australian Institute of Sport provides excellent research supporting these specialized methods.

Here’s What Most AFL Players Tell Me

Common frustrations of aspiring AFL players include:

• “I train hard but I’m not getting picked for better teams.”
• “I’m fit but I get tired in the last quarter when it matters most.”
• “I’m strong in the gym but it doesn’t translate to the field.”
• “I’ve struggled with programs and apps, and always end up where I started.”
• “I don’t know if I’m training the right things for AFL.”

Sound familiar? Most players are doing the wrong type of training. That’s why they plateau and never reach their potential.

Why Generic Fitness Programs Fail AFL Players

AFL is different from every other sport. You need:

• Explosive power for marking and tackling
• Endurance that lasts 4 quarters
• Agility to change direction instantly
• Strength to win contested ball
• Speed to break away from packs

Regular gym programs and running don’t build these specific abilities. You end up fit but not AFL fit.

The Science Behind Elite AFL Pre Season Training

Research from the AFL and elite sports medicine studies shows that elite players have specific fitness profiles. They’re not just generally fit – they excel in the exact areas that matter for AFL:

• VO2 max > 60ml/kg/min supported by Exercise is Medicine guidelines
• Vertical jump > 70cm
• 20m sprint < 3.0 seconds
• Repeat sprint ability that doesn’t drop off
• Functional strength that transfers to game situations

My AFL pre season training is designed to build these exact qualities in your body.
