Today's Feature Program: Track and Field Conditioning

Track and Field

Track and Field

The Track and Field Programs will work the body to increase strength and power. These key elements are vital if the goal is to reach the greatest potential as a sprinter.

Throughout the length of the Track and Field Programs,the manipulation of the sets and repetitions for each exercise will be based on periodization concepts that involve changing the intensity and the volume of the workouts.

The starting point of the program is based on an initial fitness level. With feedback, the actual progression of the program will follow the body's unique adaptation process to exercise. Fine tune the program to include all the exercises that feel the best!

Sprinting

The Sprinting programs will work your body to increase strength and power. These key elements are vital if you want to reach your potential as a sprinter. This program uses an advanced set and rep matrix which involves something called "phase jumping". Phase jumping means that I have included a set that calls for one rep at an intensity level that is 5-10% higher than the work sets. I have added this set at the end of the descending warmup for the "bigger" or primary strength exercises like squat, power clean, bench etc. The set combinations for these exercises appear rather long but usually half of them are actually warmup based! These phase jumping sets allow your body to neurally adapt to the heavier training poundages that you will experience in the later weeks of your program. Also, I have written a 3 Day Inseason Sprinter workout which is perfect for maintaining the strength and power you developed in the Offseason! Train Hard. Dan
