THE PROGRAM

Methods:

The athletes will always begin any training program by using General Physical Preparedness (GPP) workouts to increase work capacity, fix muscle imbalances, and prepare their system for more intensive work.  Once athletes reach a certain level of relative and maximal strength the following methods are implemented.

 

Maximal Effort Method:  Lifting maximal loads.

Reps, 1-5RM, Sets  1-3,  Rest Intervals - 3-4 mins.

 

Submaximal Effort Method:  Lifting submaximal loads, but not

to failure.

Reps, 6-10,  Sets 3-5, Rest Intervals 2-3 mins

 

Repeated Effort Method:  Lifting a nonmaximal load to failure.

Reps, 8-15, Sets 2-3, Rest Intervals 1-2 mins

(Zatsiorsky, 2006)

The athletes in grades 9-12 are divided into 4 different levels.  Each level is designed to meet the needs of that particular athlete.  Further individualization is then added for each person depending on their readiness, time of year, and sport requirements.  The athletes are tested to determine the level they will start at. 

We are not just limited to the methods above.  All new methods are researched, tested, practiced and evaluated.  Those methods that prove helpful for improving sport performance are added to our program.
