PHASE 1

With gyms closing all over due to COVID-19, and athletes not having training facilities at their disposal, we are providing the following 4-day program to those with access to gym equipment.  The workout addresses Speed and Power, the two training residuals that dissipate the quickest (7-14 days).

FYI, don’t get too crazy worrying about max strength losses at this time, you’ve got approximately 30 days before they start to fall off. Hopefully this will help manage training residuals until all systems are “go” again.

Please note the program below is listed as “Days 1 & 2” and then “Days 3 & 4”.  Make sure to do your warm-ups every time.

Stay safe everyone and see ya’ in the gym soon…
