Review: Weights for Speed (One and Two)

[AthleticsCoach]

Well this is what I get for pushing for a weight room renovation and then designing one that everyone wants to use

Yes, the first 4 week block should be pretty easy to figure out. Along with sharing the weight room with 11 other teams, I share my stadium with two soccer teams, so that presents another set of limits which would take us far off topic.

I won’t have to build anything. We have access to what we need. I stashed some of the old equipment in my storage container and the actual weight room s very close as well so we can “borrow” some of what we need.

After week #8 (second 4 week block) the schedule changes and my group can go back to afternoons.

In the GPP this can be handled reasonably well by using the weights for general development. I the situation persists, you’ll need to be creative with higher level athletes.
For example, if you can get just one bar that can be loaded at the track, you can do Deads after speed and continue with lighter general development work in the am. Some 3rd world teams (like here in the old days!!) have taken cheap bars and simply loaded buckets with concrete to make up wieghts to keep at the side of the track. At least if they are heavy enough, the grounds keepers can’t haul them away to the dump!
