    In Season Weights

    Ashley Jones

    Firstly as the great Bruce Walsh used to say before his premature passing, all training in the season is health dependant, it is really not much point in setting up a fully periodised 12 week program only to find that by week 4 that Player X has an high ankle sprain and Player Y has a Rotator Cuff issue of some magnitude. So with this being said, planning is by nature extremely variable, as Rob Deans is want to say, “It is a living document”, so below is what I would like players to be able to do but all is open to negotiation and change, so that the player benefits from what they are able to do.

    These programs are based on a Saturday to Saturday game day schedule.

    Warm ups

    Often players will come straight from a field based activity or training so may not need a warm up and will want to get straight into it, the below is used if they are coming in fresh. They can choose from either of the listed options.

    Option 1:

    45 seconds of Kettle Bell swings super setted with 45 seconds of skipping x 5

    Hip Mobility – Forward and back hurdle walks or over and under hurdle

    Rotator Cuff – Cuban Press or Scare Crow DB 2 x 15 reps

    Option 2:

    Complex sequence with empty Olympic bar

    Muscle snatch from floor hang power snatch Snatch balance Squat snatch press overhead squat Combo good morning x 5

    Or

    Clean grip power snatch hang power clean sots press squat press front squat x 5
