Hello Athletes, I hope you are well. Next week, your coaches will take you through an evaluation of 12 strength and conditioning markers. These are the benchmarks or markers that we use to program separately for each training plan. Also to ensure that the athlete can meet the training stimulus and progress in their fitness. Please see the list of all the markers below. Each training plan is showing the goals for athletes within the training plan.

Lastly, when I am able to hit all 12 markers or goals in my plan then I have the ....

The reason why weightlifting and powerlifting have such low injury rates compared to popular sports like football and soccer is because technique is such ....

Here is a good definition from Alex Cassella, Coach at Athletic Lab. “Deload is a term that suggests a decrease in training volume over a period of time in a training program. This is not the same as just taking a week of training off completely, ....
