Chest bump, Chest bump ya’ll!!! Hope all is well, things have been pretty crazy here getting ready for upcoming hoop season. Practice being two weeks away, I am wrapping up a five week strength phase which followed a two week work capacity phase. What is “work capacity” you may ask? I like to refer to it as building a foundation before you start building your house. Work capacity consists of high volume; 3×10-20 reps, limited rest periods; 1 to 1 work to rest ratios, teaching your body to recover faster; supersets, dropsets, complexes are all great tools to increase an individuals threshold. Don’t worry about how much weight you are using since it’s to build a foundation. Form on exercises done in a work capacity phase should be the focus, as well as making sure your throw-up “Snowwwwflake” makes it in the trash can! Feeling like your visiting Yack City is very common in a work capacity phase If you have any questions about work capacity or any other training questions, just hit me up! Create a great day! -Coach T
