GPP Strength Training

[RB34]

I want to work the rdl’s hard in GPP also remember my first ms block is week 4-6 of GPP so the sprint work is still lower intensity.

@James_Smith

You might consider reducing the amount of weight training exercises on your speed days, during max strength, to 3 (ergo powerclean, bench, and squat)

AND

you might consider swapping RDL for hypers by performing the RDLs during GPP and the hypers during max strength.

This is what I have my skill players do.

The hamstrings are getting enough beating, especially for you as a sprinter, as a result of the 30-60m speed work.

we know that track work must take priority so you’ll be able to push the RDLs heavier during GPP as the competitive stress won’t be there from the track. Then when max strength rolls around, and the speed distances increase, you no longer need be concerned about the added hamstring stress from the RDLs and, instead, get the flushing effects of the hypers the next day after tempo.

In this way, you can perform the hypers along with any pull ups/upper back work and other auxiliary lifts on your Tempo days during max strength
