A Word On Implementation
• On the following page you will find an upper and a lower body
training plan designed to be used from a home or hotel room.
Built into the plan are several options for each exercise category,
depending on whether you have no equipment, some minimal
equipment, or a partner. Feel free to choose whichever option
works best for you, as we understand that readers are dealing with
varying circumstances.
• A partner is highly recommended if possible because of the added
training options it gives you.
• This is a sample program that does not necessarily represent what
is optimal for each athlete’s specific needs. Understand that
modifying reps, sets or exercise selection from what is listed below
may make sense depending upon your circumstances, and that this
is just a general guide aimed at giving you ideas for your at home
training.
How many days per week should I do this program?
For strength maintenance, look to train upper and lower body twice
per week each. I suggest dividing this up in 3 primary ways:
• 2 Upper / 2 Lower: simply do each of these workouts twice per
week. I suggest a Monday-Tuesday-Thursday-Friday schedule,
using Wednesday and Saturday for basic speed/conditioning
work.
• 2 Total Body Days: by combining the days into one
comprehensive workout, you can drop down how many days
you train to just twice per week. I suggest a Monday – Thursday
schedule here, using Tuesday and Friday as speed/conditioning
days.
• 1 Upper / 1 Lower / 1 Total: by doing one upper, one lower
and one combined total body day, you can still get sufficient
training stimulus while fitting better into your schedule than a 4-
day split for some. I suggest Monday-Tuesday, Friday with
Wednesday and Saturday being for basic speed/conditioning
work.

NOTES
• Movement Prep: make sure to begin the session with soft tissue work/foam rolling, dynamic warm-up and any prehab/correctives specific to the athlete.
We individually program these, in addition to specific plyometric/medball work here depending on the athlete.
• Increase difficulty with slow negatives, pause reps (up to 30+ sec in some cases), or doing reactive explosive reps for these movements.
