  • Weights 5x 10 reps at 85-90% of your max. Test max only once/month.
  • Use the following exercises: bench row, bench press, leg press, leg curls, dead lift or cleans, back extensions, and sit-ups.
  • For all workouts the emphasis is on quality. (For example, on Wed. 5x 1500m workout, all 5 pieces should be within 4-9 seconds of your best 2k score.
  • Use your warmup on the water for more technical drills.
  • The short pieces on thursday afternoon demand the highest possible power output at each rate.
  • Please use this program as a guide only. Club and collegiate athletes should follow their coach's training program and instruction.
