OFF SEASON TRAINING / FORWARDS

Week 8 · Lower Power & Squat Strength

The first-three-strides session. Jump development opens it while the nervous system is fresh, then the squat pattern builds the force those strides are made of. Peak week. Low volume, maximum intent, full recovery between everything. You should walk out feeling fast.
