it really has worked wonders with me, and im feeling really confident with the season about to start
i was just wondering how you feel i should adapt this as i enter the in-season? i play semi-pro standard in england, division 2, so still only club train twice a week, tuesday and thursday evenings, but am seld employed and work from home, so have time to train up to twice a day no problem at all. a, looking to carry over as close to a professional training program as possible on the physical side of thinsg, even if the clubs dont always replicate it!!
once again mate, any help hugely appreciated, you and ash really sorted me out on last request, very grateful that people take considered time to help like that
cheers mate
