Figure 1
I have a few styles of training sheets for different needs,
but my primary practice is to make a 3-6-week plan (Meso)
that guides weekly sheets for the athletes. A weekly sheet
allows for more flexibility to make changes as
circumstances arise, such as injuries, changes in practice
plans, and faster or slower development than expected.
I'm very tactile and find multiple benefits to folders and
paper sheets. I want the athletes invested mentally, so I
like to leave notes, personalized to each of them. Further,
the lift sheet is a journal. I encourage athletes to jot down
how certain exercises feel, and their thoughts about
progressing. I then glean the information, and can further
customize their workouts.
Figure 1 provides an example of a single training session;
the result of how larger goals filter down into the details
such as lift progressions and the flow of the weight room.
" If it's important you'll do it every day, If it's not
important don't do it at all " Dan Gable
Hard work is essential, but training sessions should have
daily focused goals that give purpose and direction to that
work. Goal-driven weekly training habits create
consistency, which creates progress toward the larger
vision. In short, if it's on the program, then it has a purpose.
Teach the way you want it done, don't add fluff, and don't
compromise your standards.
The figure below illustrates how you don't always have
Figure 2
to produce a whole new plan for each athlete. You can stay
grounded in goals but create subtle changes to planned
exercises to account for growth (progression) or
inefficiency (regression).
In closing, I realize this isn't a mind-blowing topic in
training, and it only scratches the surface of these topics
but I do hope it gets you thinking about how careful
preparation can lead to your best training cycles yet.
