Strength Training Workouts

Positive Physiological Response

 

1.         Research has shown that 35-45 minutes of rigorous weight training is best.

2.         Research has shown a single workout four times per week is effective.

3.         It is no problem to train a body part four times per week.

4.         Free weights exercises are superior to machines.

5.         The best approach to an exercise is to perform each repetition as quickly as possible while still maintaining proper form and constant control of the weight.

6.         Understand that the terms “volume” and “intensity” are relative and that a proper combination of both be used.  As you train throughout the season, volume and intensity must be strategically adjusted over time.

7.         Volume (weight) and intensity (repetitions) are interchangeable.

8.         Do sit-ups between sets.

9.         Four workouts per cycle (day 1, day 2, day 3, day 4 ).
