I'm not sure if any of you have heard of me as I'm mostly huge in the Midwest, but my name is John Von Auerbach. I currently have a 38 mph break.
Just wondering if anyone else out there focuses on the break as much as I do.
For the past 6 months I've been trying to increase the speed of my break through three different strategies:
1. Muscle Structure
2. Stroke Technique
3. Mind over matter
To increase my muscle structure I used a combination of diet, cardiovascular exercise, and developed my quick twitch muscle fiber using isometric weight lifting exercises. I stuck to a regimen of high protein meals including but not limited to: Eggs, Chicken, and Tuna. For supplementation I usually went with Yohimbe Bark extract or Shark Cartilage. I usually went everyother day on that, so to not overload.
Specifically for the explosion needed for a fast break, I trained my anterior deltoids daily, and my pectorals 3 times per week.
To increase my stamina which would allow me to make my 38 mph break throughout a tourney, I ran 3-5 miles 4 to 5 times per week at a pace of 7 minutes per mile.
Before my 6 months of training began, my break was timed at 29 mph. After only 6 months of focused training on my break speed, my break went up an incredible 9 mph.
If anyone is interested in my training techniques, I think I have a proven system that will get your break up in speed within 8-12 weeks.
I recently had a break in which the cue ball cracked into 3 pieces. No joke. It was literally an explosion of power that even I did not foresee.
Does anyone else break as hard as me? Problably not, but just wondering.
