I stress bar speed a lot more at this time of year than weight moved. I want them to strain a little bit, but make the bar fly. This takes about 40 minutes. I'll reduce the workload once we start the official game week schedule. Short, sweet and simple. Hitting all aspects: mobility, strength, injury prevention.
