Weights for Speed 1

[AthleticsCoach]

@Charlie_Francis

I pointed out the problem with specific weights. To be fresh, these weights should be carried out early in the session, so AM the next day works better from that perspective BUT this doesn’t allow enough time for CNS recovery before the next speed session so a different weekly schedule is needed- ie speed, weights + tempo, off, speed ,weights + tempo, off.

I haven’t purchased the “Weights for Speed” videos yet, but the above plan is how I decided to address my team’s morning weight room assignment.

The problem is that I sense a lack of training density on a 4 day week schedule. The sole remaining question was how integrate a 5th day. I arrived at 3 potential conclusions.

1.) Add another ExT (L-I) day on Wednesday or Saturday. Likely wouldn’t cause problems, especially on Saturdays, but is this too much ExT?

2.) Add a Power Speed or Strength Endurance Day on Saturday or possibly Wednesday. Since this would be of lower intensity it wouldn’t seem to be too taxing.

3.) Shut up, stop being so anxious and live with the 4 day a week schedule. :eek:

All seem to have merit.
