THE 3-MONTH CYCLE

The quick fix? The 6 week challenge?  Not up in here.  The best outcome you can expect from a six week program is momentum toward a new normal.   

​

Our minimum commitment to any program is 3 months and here's why....

​

                 There are 4 x 3 month blocks in 12 month calendar - math. 

​

                 There are 4 types of training cycles - convenient

                  1. General physical preparedness - getting ready for sport. 

                  2. Sport specific Pre-season  

                  3. In-season maintenance   

                  4. Post-season recovery   

​

(for wash ups and non-athletes just replace the word sport with "recreational activity" like gardening, cycling, walking, baseball, obstacle course racing etc- and think of "season" as the time of the year which you put the largest demand on your body to move through specific motor patterns.)

​

                  The only way to measure progress is to:  Test, Train then Re-Test. 

​

                   You shouldn't be on the same training program all year round

​

MONTH 1 - Test 

• Movement assessments

• Mobility assessments 

• Strength baselines 

• Conditioning baselines

• Video analysis

• Find starting points for movement progressions. 

​

MONTH 2 - Train 

• Working for those gains 

• Practice, practice, practice.  

​

MONTH 3 - Re-Test 

• Start repeating baseline workouts 

• Try to beat your old scores 

• Reflect and evaluate what the next training cycle looks like
