PHASE 1 - Eccentric loading (3 weeks)
Here is where we get into the grit of the training. Lots of muscle recruitment during this phase. Would be good to have a spotter during most sessions. Here the athlete will control the weight through the down phase.
PHASE 2 - Isometric loading (3 weeks)
This is phase is more isometric focused to prepare athlete for Phase 3. The isometric phase is which absorbed eccentric energy turns into explosive, concentric actions. Isometric actions are ones in which the muscle attachments closest and furthest from the center of the body remain at a constant length. You reach the isometric phase when the force you are exerting equals the force of the load.
PHASE 3 - Concentric loading (3 weeks)
This phase is more concentrically focused to prepare athlete for peaking block. This block is where the athlete is starting to put everything together from the previous phases. More connection is being made to perform maximal velocity with higher loads.
