General Info:
Male, 36, 175cm, 70kg
Engineer, part time personal trainer (planning to move to full time soon)
Main sport: Beach volleyball
No active injuries or limitations
Current maxes / heaviest recent lift:
- Deadlift - 110kg (both conventional and semi-sumo), (125kg PR 1.5 years ago)
- 1 arm KB Press - 24kg x (1 - R , 2 - L) (PR)
- TGU - 32kg (PR)
Background:
- 2+ years of Westside Barbell, lower body days only - got strong, but really taxing - especially the assistance work. I was to exhausted to carry the strength gains to the sand consistently. Before that about 2 years of crappy knowledge-less resistance training.
- Easy Strength based training for the last 12 weeks
- serious amateur beach volleyball since ever (~2002)
- staying fresh - be able to carry the strength and movement gains to the sand (and life in general)
- improving the strength base and fundamental movement quality to support beach volleyball and life
- reclaiming deadlift PR
- maintaining full ballistic ROM - focus on left arm overhead position
- owning 32kg TGU
- practicing patience in programming and training
- practicing proper minimal programming, both from a practitioner and a teacher of strength point of view
- Strength practice as support - sessions should give more than they take!
Method:
- Morning warm-ups - covering all fundamental human movements daily (Dan John's 5+1)
- alternating 2 weeks ES/EES program for deadlift and 1-2 weeks of PM swings/snatches
- alternating 2 weeks of overhead work (Press , TGU, Bent Press)
