    Hi guys- great website! Really enjoying it!!

    My first trial is mid Jan, but the trial process could stretch out for up to a month.

    I’m doing the 150 shuttle conditioning program, and set to finish it just in time for this first trial.

    What would you recommend I do between various trial dates?

    Thanks!

    Lift light to medium intensity and lift FAST. We don’t want to go heavy and burn out. We just want to maintain speed and general functional health. Focus on your skills and the game.

    Not ideal, but if you need something to follow, maybe Program.Zero Phase 3 or the Sage Bro primer workout would be sufficient. You just want to go through the motions rather than fry your system with heavy weights and new exercises.

    Sounds good, thanks Zi.

    What about conditioning?

    Depends on how often you will be playing and practicing. Also depends on what you actually do.

    For example, you are having three to four, 1hour, 11-man roster games a week for practice or whatever. This means you are playing roughly 75% of all these games.
    There is likely no point in doing additional intensive conditioning because playing itself is doing the job.
    You are better off using the extra time to maintain your functional strength and mobility.

    If the above example was me, with my personal energy system, i would be doing one aerobic 30min recovery conditioning and lift twice a week. The rest is all agility and skills on the field.
