Rest



"I think one of the biggest issues of time spent in specific training sessions will be based on your specific situation. For example, college strength and conditioning coaches are working off of an NCAA governed allotment of eight total hours a week of training. In some cases, as with basketball, this may be reduced to six hours because the position coaches can do individual position specific work with their athletes up to two hours per week. In the high school level, your training session duration may be designated by the length of each class period. As you can see, though training has its scientific factors, the coach’s ability to be creative in program design is at a high premium."

Saturdays will be heavy lifting days. Get accustomed to taking the same warm-up attempts each time as you work you way up to prep for competition. On some Saturdays you will make records; on others, you may only be good for 80%. Take it up as much as you can and try to remain flexible.
