Today some of the
#trackandfield group did lower and upper body complexes. For the lower body complex they did 5 sets of 3 squats using trainwithpush (with the maximal load that permitted 0.45 m/s) followed by 3 jumps from a box. The PUSH velocity based training band drives intent, auto-regulates load and allows the athlete to focus on speed of movement through the entire range of motion rather than just load on the bar. For the upper extremity complex they did 4 sets of 4 reps in the
#benchpress followed by 4 supine
#medicineball chest pass. In all cases we took 60-90 seconds rest between the first and second exercise and about 3 minutes rest before performing the subsequent set. Performing exercises in this manner has been shown to produce what is known as post activation potentiation which can lead to improvements in both strength and power.
