Canisius Off- Season Workout
“Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months, and years they spend preparing for it.”
WTD= Weighted
SL= Single Leg
PB= Physioball
CG= Close Grip
DB= Dumb Bell
DL= Double leg
Take 1-1.5 minutes between each set on weighted exercises. You all should have the weight percentage charts if not get in contact with me and I will email it out again. Weight should go up each week even if % is not indicated. Exercises grouped together denote superset/circuit and should be done as such. Again if there are questions on what this means please contact me. Any workout that you are unclear on is on YOUTUBE!
Workouts should be done every MWF if possible, if not find a 3 day cycle that best works for you
Workout A= Dec 3rd-21st Workout B= Dec 24th- Jan 11th Workout C= Jan 14th-Feb 1st Workout D= Feb 4th- 22nd
On your off days find time to do 30min of cardio, AB work, or a body weight circuit. It is also important to take a day or 2 of rest as well during this workout cycle, so if you are going to workout M-F take the weekend to just relax.
Workout A “It’s easy to make something hard, the hard part is CHOOSING to make it hard.”
