If you are an athlete… The WORST thing you can do is structure your training like this:
1. Leg day
2. Shoulder day
3. Arm day
Etc.
Body part splits are stunting your progres, leading to injuries etc
Training should be built around upper/lower body splits, centered around the concept of what you are training in terms of sprints, jumps & POWER based movements
For our older athletes on 3-4 day per week splits, we generally separate training into upper/lower splits. The lower body splits are segmented into acceleration (horizontal focused jumps/strength) & top speed (vertical focused jumps/dynamic effort lifts)
Upper body will then be separated into more traditional strength based days & potentially a day more built on upper body plyometrics, throws & FASTER, power driven lifts
Team sport athletes aren’t bodybuilders. Stop training them like they are!
