INSIGHT

Outdated Strength Methods Limit Gains

  • Endurance athletes often use outdated low-weight, high-rep strength methods that limit gains.
  • Modern S&C methods and variation yield better performance and injury prevention.
ADVICE

Schedule Strength In Off-Season First

  • Plan strength training strategically in the off-season or active recovery to avoid interfering with competition.
  • Introduce strength progressively to avoid excessive soreness and fatigue during peak season.
ADVICE

Master Technique Then Progress Load

  • Prioritize movement mastery and technique before adding heavy loads, using progressions like goblet and box squats.
  • You can use low-rep strength ranges without immediate maximal loads once technique is sound.
