COMP PROGRAMMING week 49 / 6“Hard weights and some testing”

Final week for this strength focus! We’ll be spreading out the testing to Mon, Wed, and Friday to help you have more time to hit some ‘new weight’. Don’t feel pressured to hit your true “max”, save those for competitions when it really matters. Beat your old PRs and plan on going up to 5-10lbs less than what you know you could do. Save some in the tank so you don’t overtax your CNS and to spread those PRs out over a lifetime of training. If you ‘accidentally’ make too big of a jump and you end up hitting what seems like your actual max, take it! Celebrate and move on. It isn’t terrible if you max, but if you psych yourself up to test your absolute limit too often it will wear you down (and risk injury). This is especially true the longer you have been training (much heavier loads) and the older you are.

4.2 Seconds

I caught the new OK Go video “The One Moment” this week and it reminded me of training in relation to competition. What you see is a 4.2 second video of 100s of choreographed movements. When you perform in a competition, or when you are on the podium it is like that 4.2 second clip. Hundreds of hours of planning, training, and discipline, distilled into seconds of performance. Sometimes we forget how much set up time goes into that one workout or competition.

Don’t lose sight of the fact that we win or lose battles in the days between challenges through our preparation and discipline. Not simply how we perform on game day.
