Neptune.
Classic eight week strength cycle focused on performance and hypertrophy.
The barbell movement based program is designed to increase your strength, power, work capacity and overall ability to move under or deal with load. The program accomplishes this with five “Strength” or “Power” oriented days and one sport specific day per week.
The basic program is designed to prepare an individual water based training, coming from no background with lifting. Focusing on maximizing increases in strength, power, work capacity and overall ability to move under or deal with load, this creates a more versatile base athlete. There is at least one swim a week. Along with the focus swimming, there will be a strong emphasis on both work capacity and local muscular endurance in the lower body and (hamstrings, quads, hips) upper body (shoulder joint associated muscles).
The program is designed to follow a strength cycle and work specifically on power and hypertrophy through olympic lifts. The volume will be greatly increased comparable to other programs, as well as including many more dynamic power movements (cleans, overhead squats, jerks, snatch). In simple, you should be looking to build a bigger engine and be able to carry it.
The most common and standard entry test among water based trainings will be some form of combat sidestroke swim.
