This 4-week block will show how we take a group that is totally new to conjugate training and break them in. The team below is one that had an overall low training age. They were also a team that is known to not train when they are home. They are a spring team and this was what we did in the fall with them starting at week one. Because of their training age and lack of work capacity, my main concern was teaching proper technique on everything and trying to get some sort of base built up with their training volume. You'll see more of the volume piece in week two because the teaching in week one takes so much time you won't have a lot of time left over for accessory work.
