There use to be a strength training program in the resources section but I don't see it in the new format. Can you make it available again?

Strength training program Empty Re: Strength training program

Not a huge fan of this general template for everyone, and I think you may want to adjust the volume, %s, and exercises as needed to take into consideration what other things you are doing in your training outside of it. So look at it as a general idea of progression for a beginner/intermediate athlete.

--------------

These days can be spread out throughout the week however you see fit. However, do not do more than 3 in one week. And do not do two strength sessions on back to back days.

If you are following this program 3 days per week, on days in group classes where we are doing a heavy lift...do NOT go heavy. Instead, explain to the insutror that you are following this strength program in Open Gym and go lighter with the weights focusing on perfect technique.

Eat lots of food with this strength work. It will not work, if you are not getting sufficient calories/protein.

--------------

Day 1
A. Back Squat @ ~60% 1RM; 5 reps x 5 sets; rest 3-4 min

Well, now I'm thinking I shouldn't do it. :-D

I was thinking of it as a way of "getting back in the swing of things" so to speak...and then working through some of your previous programming for me and then seeing you about adding programming again when I can make the most use of it.

I did this one over the summer just one day a week and it made a difference - especially in my squats. I was just thinking that I might start it up again. Maybe after the challenge is finished because I'm having trouble squeezing in the extra day as it is now.

just be aware, barb, rerunning an identical cycle, your body may have adapted to it and your gains could be a lot less, or nothing at all. every now and then colin puts me through a cycle that i LOVE and i wanna do it again... and again... but he advises against it.
