Cycle 1504 Training Objectives

Fitness

• Gradually build capacity in top end speed and lactic power-endurance.
• Increase aerobic power development through relatively frequent testers w/ low-to-moderate eccentric components to allow for recovery.
• Build structural strength with an emphasis on strength-speed on the hinge and relatively intense work for other basic strength pieces. 
• Continue with intra-training mobility pieces as a time management tool.

Performance

• Intensify aerobic power with shorter, more intense intervals and less volume (mixed modal and cyclic).
• To provide an incremental re-introduction of the kip for those interested in developing the kip as a tool.
• Improve lactate utilization through a progressive lactate endurance program (cyclic and mixed modal).
• Improve Weightlifting technique and subsequent rate of force production through high volume lifting that undulates in intensity throughout the cycle and each week.  There will be a subsequent decrease in hinge work during other training days.
• Allow for further energy system "sharpening" through more frequent testers.
• Continue with intra-training mobility pieces as a time management tool.
