About this plan
Who it's for
For people with years of training behind them. You'll need the equipment listed above.
Not the right fit?
- Want something less demanding: Explosive Power Basics, intermediate, 3 days a week.
- Only have 3 days a week: Plyometric Power, advanced, 3 days a week, no equipment.
What to expect
Each week is 69 working sets across 16 exercises, about 3 h 55 min in total.
Sets run from 2 to 15 reps, with 1:00 to 4:00 of rest between them.
Main muscles: Abs, Front Delts, Glutes, Quads, Traps, Rear Delts, Hamstrings, Forearms.
How to progress
Power work is about speed, so a heavier load only helps while every rep stays fast.
- Keep every rep fast. Choose a weight or a height that lets each rep move quickly, and stop a set once the reps slow down.
- Add load when it stays fast. Add load or height only when a whole session stays fast. Progress the strength work in small steps, once every set is complete.
- Measure in months. Progress at this level is slow and measured over months. Small improvements count, and an easier week every so often helps you keep training hard the rest of the time.
If the numbers stop moving: If nothing moves for several weeks, look at sleep and recovery before adding more work.
