Coach Schleper
Strength & ConditioningThe Rec League training program includes 3+ gym sessions and 2+ conditioning sessions each week, designed to develop full body strength and conditioning through a structured, well-balanced approach.
Gym Sessions follows a consistent flow to support performance and long-term progress. You can expect: - Warm-up and movement preparation phase, to improve mobility and activate key muscle groups, - Power-focused movements that train explosiveness and coordination - Primary strength portion of each gym session includes: compound lifts (build foundational strength) - Accessory strength (adds volume to major muscle groups and incorporates unilateral exercises) - Muscular endurance and hypertrophy work (to promote muscle development and work capacity)
Conditioning Sessions rotate between three key formats: - Steady-state training to build aerobic capacity/base - Threshold/tempo training aimed to work just below lactate threshold, and - Interval training work at or close to VO2 max.
