JT Performance
Strength & ConditioningStrength • Speed • Size • Conditioning
Most training programs build strength and ignore everything else.
The Athlete Split is a 6-week off-season training program for contact athletes who want to build strength, speed, size and conditioning — while learning how to balance it all and build athleticism that actually transfers to sport.

C
4minutes on @ 85% of maximum heart rate w/1minute off Perform 4 reps (20minutes) Without a heart rate monitor: Work for 4 minutes at a hard but sustainable pace. You should be breathing heavily, but still just about able to speak in short phrases (say 3-4 words). Ideally, switch between different cardio machines each round. For example: Airdyne, bike, rower, ski-erg, or any machine you prefer. I wouldn’t recommend extra running for most people. If you only have access to one machine, I’d choose the airdyne. It’s usually easier to keep your effort in the right zone. But ultimately, use whatever you have available.
