Review: Weights for Speed (One and Two)

[tamfb]

@Charlie_Francis

Lots of options here as well.
As this is most likely a L-to-S program, you can:
1: Use Mon and Thurs as a logical spread.
2: Use Mon and Fri for Speed and SE with Wed creating stimulus as a weights or Med ball day (in conjunction with very limited M and F sessions as well to spread out the demand).
3: Use three sessions BUT concentrate on SE on Wed with very short start type sessions on Mon and Fri with weights spread over the three days in very limited doses. Perhaps ironically, this may be the easiest on the nervous system (and the one we started with) because there’s really only ONE major stimulus in the week with two supporting stimulea.
Thoughts??

After experimenting and learning from other coaches on this forum, its best to go two high intensity days esp. if the athletes don’t have regular excess to therapy etc. Also when you are working with athletes who are post university athletes who have full time jobs it’s hard having 3 high intensity days. Typical week:

GPP: 3 high int days.

SPP:
Mon: speed
Tue: tempo
Wed: rest
Thur: SE spilt runs
Fri: tempo

• Also we may at times perform a upper body strength session on the tempo days and lower on speed days.

Charlie what’s your thoughts on squatting once a week in SPP and performing a spilt squat etc the other day?
