Strength Training Workout Outline
Day 1 and Day 2 students will choose a workout partner and be assigned to either a lower body or upper body workout. The second day they have Strength Training they will switch to the opposite circuit (ex. Day 1 if students do a lower body circuit then on Day 2 they do an upper body circuit). Anytime we have a Day 3 in the same week, it is designated as an open lift with use of all weight lifting stations as well as any of the cardio machines and stations. Also on a Day 3 any student can attempt to “MAX” out their best repetition on the Bench Press, Squat or Dead Lift. The eighteen week semester for the Strength Training elective is described below:
Weeks 1 - 6 (3 sets of 12 repetitions) |
Weeks 6 - 12 (3 sets of 12 repetitions) |
Weeks 12-18 (3 sets of 6 repetitions 40% of MAX) |
