Very Common Myths When It Comes to Planning Team Lifting for ThrowersNot enough time to lift 2 days a weekYou should lift heavy all season long.
You should lift for maximal strength at the end of the year (powerlifting meet)
Impossible to lift when meets are in the middle of the week or 2 meets per week
Every event, age group, and/or athlete needs a custom lifting schedule and routine.Slide3
The Reality of the Situation is…Training twice a week is not only possible, it is easy to do!Heavy lifting should only be the first third of your season and the entire pre-season!Every athlete, no matter what the event, should be lifting 2x a week.
Lifting the day before a meet is necessary but only happens during the early meets that don’t actually count for anything.
Event specific/athlete specific training would be nice but the basics still work the best.
Don’t Major in the Minors!Slide4
Unfortunate CircumstancesThere are some things that unfortunately happen during the season that are out of your control (the proverbial ---- that hits the fan).Sickness, athletes going on vacation, school breaks, holiday closings, family responsibilities, work responsibilities, religious obligations, bad weather, SATs, graduation, senior events, etc.
You can’t avoid them, but you can plan strategies for when they pop up.Slide5
How to Start Planning to PeakStarts the first day you receive your meet schedule.Get a giant desk calendar, tear out the months of the season, and tape it to your office wall.Lots of room to write, it is always in your face, gives a visual of the ENTIRE SEASON!
Plot in the first day of practice, the last day of the season, every known school or personal vacation, and every meet you will be attending.Slide6
Set Up a Goal MeetFor the majority of athletes, this is your state championship.This is the meet you will be peaking for.Unfortunately, not everyone will go to the state meet and their season will end a week or more before the state meet. What about them?
The harsh reality of being a coach! Peak your best athletes for the biggest meet at the end of the season. Everyone else will improve and hit their season bests because they are trying to keep up.
Goal for younger athletes is constant improvement!Slide7
Count The Weeks and Write them InStart counting how many Mondays happen between the start of the season and the last week of the season (include the Monday before the State Meet).Usually 12-13 weeks in the cold weather states.
Count backwards and mark the calendar.
Say you have a 12 week season. Monday before States is week 12. Monday before that is week 11. Monday before that is week 10, etc.Slide8
Divide Your Season Into 3 PartsJust look at your schedule. Might already be done for you!Last 3-4 weeks of the season is the “Championship” time of yearMiddle 3-4 weeks is where a lot of the bigger invites start and the dual meets fizzle out.
First 4-5 weeks of the season there might be smaller meets and dual meets scattered around the calendar.Slide9
PLOTTING YOUR LIFTING SCHEDULESlide10
Plotting Championship SeasonWeek of Championship Meet is a Deload weekVery easy light week of basically no lifting
Week before that is Explosive Week 3
Week before that is Explosive Week 2
Week before that is Explosive Week 1
***These are the last 4 weeks of your season, counting backwards, on your calendar. Block these out as the CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON.***Slide11

Plotting the Start of the Season
Week before Middle Week 1 is Max Week
No matter how many weeks you have before the middle 4 weeks of your season, that is how many weeks make up the start of the season.
Could be 4, 5, or even 6 weeks make up this part of the season and that is OK (and actually, the more the better!)Slide15

PRESEASON
PRESEASONSlide16
Beginning of the SeasonBased on our calendar, we have 4 weeks:Week 1 – Basic intro 5x5 liftingWeek 2 – Add more weight, trying to hit 5x5
Maybe on the last few sets you get 4 or 3 reps, no big deal
Week 3 – Add even more weight, trying to hit 5x5
Based on week 2, this won’t happen but it will give a good estimate of your 1 rep max in squat and press
Week 4 – Max Week – Find Your Actual 1RMSlide17
That’s Your General Guideline for the Beginning of the Season.Start introducing movements.Build up strength every week.Max out the week before the middle of the season.
Get a good idea of what individual athletes need to improve upon.Slide18
Middle of the SeasonBlending Strength and Speed I like combining 2 different exercises and making a “couplet” out of themExample Squats and Push Press
or
Bench Press and Jumping Squats
.
Week 1 – 60% Max Squat: 5 sets 6 / Push Press: 5 sets 4
Week 2 – 70% Max Squat: 5 sets 5 / Push Press: 5 sets 3
Week 3 – 80% Max Squat: 5 sets 4 / Push Press: 5 sets 2Slide19
That’s Your General Guideline for the Middle of the Season.Stick with same base movements (squat and bench).Not going to fatigue, sets and reps should be a challenge but not extremely difficult.
Leave 1 rep in the tank.
Couple each base movement with an opposite explosive movement.
Move quickly between exercises.Slide20
Championship SeasonFocus is on EXPLOSION and SPEEDFirst Movement of every day is an explosive movementI like Jumping Lunges and Explosive Push Ups
You can pick anything you like!
Jumping Lunges – 5 sets of 5 per leg
Jumping Lunges – 5 sets of 4 per leg
Jumping Lunges – 5 sets of 3 per leg
Following the explosive movements, finish with compound movements (squats and bench) working with lighter weights leaving a few reps in the tank.Slide21
Anything else in the weight room?Every athlete needs to do an assistance exercise and an exercise they absolutely hate/suck at to correct a weakness.Athlete X: Just completed his squats. Needs to move to an assistance exercise. Coach has assigned walking lunges.
After walking lunges, coach tells athlete he needs to do core work because he has an extremely weak core. Assigns 1 or 2 core movements.Slide22
What About An Athlete With a Strong Core? Athlete Y: Just completed his squats. Needs to move to an assistance exercise. Coach has assigned walking lunges.After walking lunges, coach tells A
thlete Y
he
has a strong core but very weak hamstrings. Has Athlete Y do
Glute
Ham Raises.
Every athlete will have a different weakness. Stick with the same movement to correct weakness for 3 weeks and find another weakness.Slide23
Weekly SchedulingWhat days during the week will my team be in the weight room?If you look at your calendar, you realize you have a TON of free time.First day of the week in the weight room is the furthest day away from a meet that week.
Meet on Saturday, you lift on Monday
Second day of the week in the weight room is
approx
2 days after the first
Meet on Saturday, lifting on Monday, lift again on WednesdaySlide24
Very Easy During Championship SeasonMost meets are on SaturdaysYou can keep the Monday/Wednesday lifting schedule the entire championship part of the season.Very similar to a college schedule.
Makes your job as a coach very easy.Slide25

Middle of the Season…Not always easy.Most bigger invitationals will be on Saturdays but some dual meets happen during the week.
Try to schedule around these dual meets remembering they are pretty much pointless and have no real bearing on the championship season.Slide27

Beginning of the Season…Most of the meets at the beginning of the season don’t count for anything, so you will more than likely have to lift the day before a track meet every week. This is OK and is necessary to plan and peak your athletes for the end of the year. Slide29

I’M SO CONFUSEDUnderstandably, this looks like a lot, but once the calendar is on the wall, it will take you 15 minutes.First Day of Practice, Every Meet of the SeasonChampionship Goal Meet
Count the Weeks and Write Them In
Divide the Season into 3 Sections
Based around meets, plot days you should be in the weight room.Slide31
