    Hey guys, my brother and I are preparing for YCC this summer as well as summer leagues and maybe some highschool spring ultimate. Our main priority for peaking and performing is YCC which consists of a four week tryout period in June, practices all through July, and the nationals tournament in early August. We just are two weeks out from finishing Program.One, the standard variation and are working through agility.zero and ladder.zero, about 1/3 through them.

    What programs should we plan on doing for this YCC schedule? In my mind I would like to do two conditioning programs before the national tournament, probably starting in early March. What strength program should we start after finishing program.One? We have access to barbells but do not have lifting experience with them. Should we try Program.One Barbell variation to gain some experience with them, or move on to another program since we just completed that?

    On a side note we are looking for a box, or box set for performing exercises such as the depth jump. If I were to buy one would this work? And would the sizes 16, 20, 24 inches be a good option?

    Thanks so much! Can’t wait to see those new strength programs you just recorded 🙂

    Matthew,

    Sorry nobody has answered for over a week!
    The thing about in-season periods are the expected high volume of sport practice and priority to the sport. Hence, the biggest concern is the inevitable loss of strength overtime. Thankfully, strength isn’t hard to maintain and losing a little won’t break you.

    We have no in-season programs because training will be reactive. It depends on what you need. However, the must have is a basic strength program with bang-for-buck exercises. No flashy things or new jigs. Just the raw basics because you will be tired from practice. RFE Split Squats, SLDL, Pressing, pulling, KB Swings and fill in with core or any rehab stuff. You train to support your sport.

    Becareful with conditioning programs. If you’re playing 2-3 times a week, you might want to hold that off because playing in itself is conditioning.

    Thanks Zi. I will definitely pace myself once I really see how the summer will work out. I still have a few months left in my first off-season FPT and will try and do my best to have good in-season FPT for the first time.
