The phase is designed for;

- substantial improvements in general strength

- reducing injury risk by building strength to the best standards per muscle group relative to other muscle groups in areas specific to water polo

- prepare to body for the work to come both in the gym (development of maximal & explosive strength) and in the pool

This phase is unique as it is not a normal week by week progression but more of a 'move at your own pace'. Most exercises have a set of standards that need to be reached before you can progress on to the progression of that exercise. This will mean that some exercises & muscle groups will progress faster than others - this is completely ok and expected. Stick to the progression you are at, build patiently and you will reap the rewards (especially in the phase)
