Power workout.

I just started doing this power work out. I will be competing in the submasters div. this indoors. I got this from the speed book by george dintman and tom tellez. My GPP wont start till Nov so right no im just toning up, eating better and doing tempo 1x per week, and acc dev 1x per week and on the week ends I mountain bike. I know the numbers are not high :slight_smile: but I would rather have good form than a big ego!!!

My question was, Is there anything I should add or remove? (the Behind the neck press for push and press?) I experimented last week and did a circut traing program that Brent Mcfarlane published called the 60/60 circut instead of the friday power workout. I felt pretty good the next week Monday. The poundage felt easier but, I was a little more sore than usual. (even my anterior tibs were soreโ€ฆ bad form perhaps?) Any suggestions will be appreciated!!!

Thanks!

  • Work sets are >75% max
  • On Olympic lift derivatives keep reps <4 and total reps (>75%) between 8 and 15
  • Drop deadlifts & Smith machine exercises

I second what david said

NYJ - Is the book Speed Improvements for Young Athletes by Dintiman? Only title I was able to find.

Also, what sources have you found listing meets, either indoor or outdoor, with submasters or open divisions?

David - Why remove DL? To slow of a movement?

Cleans are a sufficient pulling stimulus.
