Hey everyone... Any thoughts on periodization philosophies for power sports... specifically football? Anyone done or used any conjugate methods? Undulating vs. linear...? So far I've had great success using a sort of quasi undulating/linear design. I don't completely change reps every week, although I do maximal or close to maximal efforts on different exercises each week. I like to keep the intensity high all during our off-season. I still stick to the traditional linear phases of hypertrophy, strength...etc
As I come towards the end of my second year of coaching I'm really still solidifying my philosophies and still finding what works best for my teams and our training. But any advice you all might have would be greatly appreciated.
One more question... recovery was a big thing that we talked about while at AP. I came away realizing that I never really thought enough about it when planing my training cycles. Since coming back to my teams, implementing recovery weeks has been somewhat difficult. I'm working with young athletes that want to push hard all the time. What I'm looking for are some good ways that I can satisfy their desire to train hard, while still maintaining my goals of giving their bodies some time to adjust.
