April 14 - May 2, 2014

For this 3 week phase we will see a few changes and a little more variety in conditioning.  We will be moving away from the wave ladders for a time and returning to percentage based work after this phase has come to an end. Now that we have built a skill set that allows us to be technically proficient in a variety of skills we need to put those skills into practice and do a little testing to find increases in performance and to test a baseline for it as well.

Programming is still prescribed in a 2 on 1 off 2 on 2 off style for training and rest days.  Please do not combine days if you miss a training day.  Lifts may be put together in this situation, but I ask that you check in prior to taking those liberties.

Lifting
Athletes will need to find 5, 3 and 1 RM depending on the specifics of the day.
For 5 RM days
- Utilize a 15 minute time frame to find a 3 RM.
- Rest time between sets of 5 RM attempts must be 1:30 - 2 min in duration once the movement approaches the failure point.
- Rest times can be shorter in the initial specific warm up phases of testing with rest being taken as needed
- Failure occurs at the point of technical breakdown or inability to move the weight.  The last successful weight lifted within the 15 minute time frame will be utilized as your 5 RM

For 3 RM days
- Utilize a 15 minute time frame to find a 3 RM.
- Rest time between sets of 3 RM attempts must be 2-3 min in duration once the movement approaches the failure point.
- Rest times can be shorter in the initial specific warm up phases of testing with rest being taken as needed
- Failure occurs at the point of technical breakdown or inability to move the weight.  The last successful weight lifted within the 15 minute time frame will be utilized as your 3 RM

For 1 RM days
- Utilize 20 minute time frame tio find a 1 RM
- Rest time between sets of 3 RM attempts must be 2-3 min in duration once the movement approaches the failure point.
- Rest times can be shorter in the initial specific warm up phases of testing with rest being taken as needed
- Failure occurs at the point of technical breakdown or inability to move the weight.  The last successful weight lifted within the 20 minute time frame will be utilized as your 1 RM
