Week 1 · Session C · Upper Power, Lateral & Shift Intervals

A heavy press primes a fast throw, the pulling keeps the shoulders honest, lateral bounds keep the crossover sharp, and shift-length intervals at a game work-to-rest close the session. Elite dose: one more working set on every lift, jump and interval than the standard block, and longer holds. Every rep still fast.

This week

Transition. The summer’s strength stays, the volume comes down, and repeat-sprint work starts. Expect the conditioning to bite harder than the lifting.
