Physical Preparation for Team Sports: Weekly Plans [Part 5]
By Mladen Jovanovic on 29/04/2017What to do when?

Physical Preparation for Team Sports: Weekly Plans [Part 4]

Concurrent Strategies in Strength Training – Part 3
By Mladen Jovanovic on 15/04/2017Different types of weekly progressions can be implemented, with or without the unload period.

You could also use narrow pyramids, waves, stages, or whatever crosses your mind that allows an increase in defined goals concurrently and avoids injury and overtraining.

By Mladen Jovanovic on 08/04/2017The dissection of the training week (microcycle) and distinction into recovery, loading and taper mini-blocks is of course artificial and represents a simple “jig” to be used to make decision making easier.

By Mladen Jovanovic on 04/04/2017After we have planned and scheduled for the recovery and taper mini-block, what is left we can use for loading mini-block.

By Mladen Jovanovic on 02/04/2017Priority lifts - Because we are going to differ between different exercise categories and give them priorities, I hope that calling this method priority lifts was a smart idea. If you think it is not, feel free to contact me and curse me.

Concurrent Strategies in Strength Training – Part1
By Mladen Jovanovic on 26/03/2017Concurrent training by definition means training for achieving multiple training goals at the same time.
