Week 2:
- changes will be in bold
Program Details: First week of September. – 10ish weeks until first competition Training Considerations: this post will only address the athletes experienced in Conjugate training. Experienced just means they are not new to the system, not truly experienced. We’ll also assume the athletes have trained over the summer so we don’t have to do remedial training. The summer program would have been a progression starting in May to prep them for these loads and demands. 4 days per week. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. Team trains early in the morning. Practice is in the afternoon after 3pm.
You are going to have to push the pace of these workouts. There is a lot to get done. You need to get your athletes to the point where they can pair up or triple up and compete in their groups. Their goal should be to have their training partners leaning on shit while they are standing tall at the end.
