20241202 - 8-Week Power & Explosiveness Cycle
Week 1 is to introduce foundational power and explosiveness training while emphasizing proper technique, speed, and controlled movement. This week focuses on building the neuromuscular connections required for explosive power while maintaining manageable loads to avoid fatigue and ensure proper mechanics.
Focus
Power Development: Introduce Olympic lift variations and plyometrics to build explosive strength and speed.
Technique Refinement: Focus on movement efficiency and skill in power lifts and dynamic exercises.
Core Stability & Mobility: Strengthen the core and improve joint mobility to support explosive movements and reduce injury risk.
Goals
Learn and refine key explosive lifts (Power Clean, Snatch).
Build lower body power through plyometric exercises.
Develop baseline speed and endurance through short, high-intensity conditioning efforts.
