The Anterior Chain

I love that setup for basketball athletes because the one’s I have worked with were very tight in the hip area which caused a ton of other problems. What do you think about this setup for the track and field sprinter:

GPP
Mon/Fri: Squats
Wed: Deadlifts/ spilt squats 2x8

Spp:
Mon: Spilt squats 4x5
Thur: Squats

@NumberTwo

For the basketball example (off-season training), we are doing the following:

Monday

• Heavy Squat

Tuesday

• Lunge work

Wednesday

• No lifting

Thursday

• Heavy Squat

Friday

• Lunge Work

Of course, there are other lifts in there as well, but it gives you an idea how the high vs. low is distributed. It may change as we get past the general prep phase, as I anticipated that the players would be sore in and around the hips and groin. They would get the Wednesday off to recover before squatting heavy again.

The players have commented that they like the choice of exercises and the organization of the program. They scrimmage on Tuesday and Thursday and feel as though the mobility work is helping on the defensive end of the court.
