Allocation of Weekly Load  When do you want to do what? Considerations: ○ What is your emphasis? ○ How much time do you have? ○ What else are you doing?  How does one session affect another?

Allocation of Weekly Load  Labeling Training Load High Moderate Low  High What? CNS Metabolic Structural Damage  Can we train Multiple abilities by changing the emphasis of each training session?

One Step Further  Add multiple training modalities… MondayTuesdayWedThursFridaySat HardLightModerateLift HardLightModerateLightESD You can make it as complex as you want…. A split routine within the Starr model with multiple training modalities if you want.

Developing a Template  Put together a template of how you want each session to be structured…  See other sheet

Labeling a Template  Bodypart LB, UB, TB  Emphasis RE, ME, SE, DE, ETC.  Unilateral  Bilateral  Movement Pattern Push, Pull Lunge, Squat, Hinge…  Filler…

General Session Structure  Can emphasize one quality or multiple  Rules of thumb: Fast to Heavy to Tiring High Skill to Low Skill Complex to Simple Primary to Assistance

General Session Structure  Pairing Exercises Primary Exercises should be paired with minimally fatiguing exercises In most cases should not fatigue each other Sometimes can be organized to potentiate each other  Fillers: Core Mobility Stability Pre-hab. Corrective

Good Pairings  LB Pull and UB Push  LB Push and UB Pull  Nothing taxing with Olympic Lifts  UB Push and Pull  LB Push and Pull  * In most cases avoid pairing primary exercises  *Beware of small fatiguing factors Grip Strengh Postural Strength (front squat and weighted carries)

Other Concepts  More Pull than Push  Females more unilateral than males  Emphasize your emphasis! Does your training reflect your intent?
