The sessions

Two sessions, every week.

ASession A

Strength Maintenance

Heavy hinge, lateral single-leg work, and the pulling volume that keeps you winning net-front battles in the third period. Two working sets on the main lift and not one more.

  1. 01Hinge Strength
  2. 02Lateral Single-Leg Strength
  3. 03Press & Pull
  4. 04Groin & Carry
BSession B

Lateral Power & Hip Maintenance

Everything that keeps a gap tight: lateral output while fresh, loaded rotation for the point shot, and the frontal-plane hip work that stops a groin from ending your February.

  1. 01Lateral Output
  2. 02Frontal Plane Strength
  3. 03Hamstring & Trunk
Week by week

Four weeks, start to finish.

Each week runs sessions A to B. Open any one of them on its own.

  1. Week01

    Load is moderate on purpose — in-season lifting exists to keep what you built, not to make you sore for Friday.

  2. Week02

    One notch heavier. If the schedule has left the legs heavy, drop a set before you drop the weight.

  3. Week03

    The heaviest week of the loop, and still nothing goes to failure. Bar speed is the governor all month.

  4. Week04

    Back off, then start the block again at week 1. This loop repeats for as long as the season does.

Ready when you are

Start week one on the days you train.

Every session lands on your schedule, and any of them can be moved later.
