He changed the whole In-Season protocol. It’s less heavy lifting and more speed and power.

Oh.  Cool.  I'll stick with the new in-season work while my season is still in effect and I'll switch to the heavier lifting come October.

I’ve been doing the Mobility 3 warmup every day this week. It doesn’t loosen you up.

I paid for another year with this app. Started the Off Season programs for the next 4 weeks.

Mike Carroll did a blog post about speed training and when to do it in conjunction with resistance training. He suggests doing the speed work the same day as resistance training either just before or earlier in the day.

You need to be fresh to do speed training and may not be fresh enough the day after resistance training to get any benefit. I will start working on that and report back.

Moved into Power Plan from Winter Strength this week. Power Plan uses some of the same exercises like squats and dead lifts, but uses less weight and fast motion. I emailed Mike Carroll asking how much less and he suggested 20% lower weight.

I also started up SuperSpeed again and will do it before the workout as Mike recommended. Speed work needs to be done when you are fresh.
