Description
This is a 6-week, 5-day/week multi-modal, training with a strength emphasis. Strength, work capacity, chassis integrity and endurance, are concurrently trained, but strength training is emphasized. The programming is based on our King of Lifts Mini Study.
This is Version 1 of the plan, designed in January 2023.
FITNESS ATTRIBUTES
Strength
This training plan’s strength work is laser focused on the back squat exercise, and deploys max effort, dynamic and tempo training to train this “king of lifts.” Experienced MTI athletes will recognize the classic MTI max effort programming in this plan, but the dynamic and tempo programming are new. Enjoy! You’ll train the back squat 4 times each week with this unique programming mix.
Work Capacity
The plan deploys short single mode work capacity events – 7-10 minutes. The work capacity efforts are weighted toward sprint-based efforts.
Chassis Integrity
Multiple programming methods are deployed in this plan to train chassis integrity, including multi-exercise circuits and single exercise “grinds” using sandbags.
Endurance
Moderate Paced, “Athlete’s Choice”, 45-75 minute efforts, once per week. Athletes Choice means you can run, swim or spin/bike. It’s up to you.
