Off-Season Strength Training Part 2: Middle & Late Off-Season
Listen now
Description
Building off of part 1 (early phase off-season), I talk about how middle stage off-season could look and then finally how late stage can look. There are so many different ways to program and periodize, what I mention in this episode isn't the end all be all. It's just a way to go about things, do your own research and make sure to apply it to your own setting to make sure it works for you. Middle off-season is pretty simple, you want to progress off of the early phase and continue to build the base. I mention a 3-day full body split but like I said it doesn't have to be that, I think that split is good for a lot of athletes and it's worked for me in the past especially for this phase of the off-season. We want to continue progressing things like our plyos, strength work and build movement proficiency. Late off-season will become more specific to the sport, you want to overload specific joint angles and get the athlete prepare for the demands on the sport. This phase or stage will be more power based, contrast training can be utilized, MB work, speed-strength and so on.
