In Season Training Split ~ Christy “CJ” Landwehr
In this question and answer section on The Women's Footy Podcast, Jacob chats with Christy “CJ” Landwehr, Christy asked how athletes can split in-season training, especially focusing on balancing gym and field workouts. Jacob highlights the need for customized training plans based on individual experience and competence in fundamental movements.
Jacob talked about Developmental athletes, a simple program entails three days weekly weightlifting sessions: one full-body, one upper, and one lower body day. Mature athletes should engage in a four days weekly weightlifting routine, even during the pre-season and in-season, split between upper body compound lift day, lower body compound lift day, upper body accessory day and lower body accessory day.
Jacob said If any sessions must be dropped due to fatigue or other factors, the priority should be maintaining the compound lift sessions, particularly the Wednesday lower body day. The least crucial session to retain is the upper body accessory day. Through these guidelines, an athlete can balance their in-week training efficiently, ensuring they target the necessary areas without overtraining.
