Training Phase: Transition into a Strength Phase (approx. 2-weeks). An athlete’s strength is measured by how much weight they can lift (1-repetition maximum; 1RM). Certain lifts are more strength-oriented and allow for larger amounts of load to be moved. Strength workouts typically involve slow, grinding efforts that are predominantly neural in nature. They are designed to recruit the higher threshold, fast-twitch fibers responsible for maximal force production.
