Players in Summer Leagues

For those of you that are playing in summer leagues...

You guys will be on a slightly modified version of the program.  Because you guys are playing nearly every day, your bodies need rest and 4-5 days a week of lifting would be too much.

I still want you guys doing the work for the core lifts 3x per week.  Along with this, I also want you to get in some other assistance work much like we did in season.  Often times you will be able to follow a post for a particular day exactly as it is and be fine.  You have the freedom to add and take out what you want from the assistance exercises based on how your body feels.

You'll find that 3 days a week is very doable once you can get into a routine of working out in the morning, resting the afternoon and playing at night.  Be sure you are getting these lifts in to maintain strength while you're still playing.

With regards to running, mix in a some sprints a couple times every week to keep your legs fresh.  There will be some days where you get to the park early and these days are perfect to get a little running in.  If you guys have any other questions regarding lifting or anything else, feel free to call or email.

Good luck to all you fellas playing.
