✅ Do this acceleration progression with us!

1. Sled positional overcoming isometric 2x5 seconds each side

2. Split stance medicine ball step throughs x3 each side

3. Sled push sprints x4 total

Goal is to take primed positions & push into our 10 yard sprint work to follow

The Most Common Program Design Errors I See:

1. Too much volume
2. Too many exercises
3. Random sets and reps
4. No understanding of percentages
5. Poor exercise selection
6. Force-feeding lifts
7. No progression
8. Wrong order

Here are solutions for all of them:

1. Volume

20-25 total sets per day is enough in the offseason.

30 total at most.

Any more and you’re just making is harder to recover for no gain.

2. Use 6-8 Exercises

- Jump/Throw
- Lower Anterior
- Lower Posterior
- Upper Anterior
- Upper Posterior
- Core

Check the movement box and move on.

3. Sets and Reps

Volume has to fit the movement, the goal, training level, and what the group can handle.

Rules of thumb:

Main Lift: 1-3 sets of 3-8 reps
Main Assistance Lift: 2-3 sets of 6510 reps
Accessory Work: 2-3 sets of 10-20 reps

4. No Understanding of Percentages

No, 4 sets of 10 at 90% is is not possible.

Percentages aren't even necessary for most.

5. Exercise Selection

It’s not about:

What you like
What another school does
What some Goo-Roo told you is “the best lift for XYZ”

It’s about these:

Can you teach it?
Can they execute it?
Does it fit your logistics?
Is it safe?
Are there better alternatives?

6. Force Feeding Lifts

See #5.

Refusing to use better alternatives because you’re so deeply hooked on a few exercises that you’re willing to prioritize your biases over their well-being.

Bad news.

Not everyone you train is built to Back Squat, Power Clean, or Deadlift well.

Use lifts they can execute well and fit your space.

7. No Progression

You can’t do the exact same exact workout every single week.

It’ll stop working eventually.

Some progression needs to happen:

Add/Remove volume
Add/Remove weight
Progress to the next variation of the movement
Switch to a new variation of the same movement

If you follow me you know I keep the same exercise for months on end.

I can do that because I'll change something else every week.

Most often weight or volume.

8. Wrong Order

You can’t just throw random things on the whiteboard and expect it to work.

Do this order:

Speed/Power work
Heaviest Main Lift
Next-most-taxing
Main Assistance Lift
Accessories

Example:

Sprint
Box Jumps
Back Squat
RDL
Hip Bridge

[Running-Physio @tomgoom]

It's recommended that we load at ≥70% of 1 Rep Max during rehab but what does this translate to in terms of reps to fatigue? Nuzzo et al. (2024) suggests 70% of 1RM is ~15RM which is a good place to start with loading & can be progressed towards 6RM (& heavier) as symptoms allow
