CONDITIONING

During conditioning sessions we will focus on both maximum and dynamic effort.

Maximum effort lifts are essential for neurological improvements– intermuscular and intramuscular. There will be adaptations to the central nervous system and movement patterns. This method of training is essential and most effective for strength gains.

Dynamic effort is also referred to as speed-strength work. In this style of training, the lifter lifts with an intermediate velocity using loads of 75-85% of their 1-rep max. This helps promote high-threshold motor units and facilitates rate of force development (RFD). Basically, it helps recruit the muscles responsible for lifting weight at a fast speed.
