In strength and conditioning training we don't want to train till failure straight way as we want to utilize our speed and power for athletic performance throughout the training session(micro cycle). We want to warm up to get mobile so we can prime our body for explosive movements and really fire up the nervous system ready to work our fast twitch muscles by utilizing jumps and med ball movements.
Dynamic Warm Up to elevate the body temperature and movement patterns for
Sports Performance
Speed and Power Exercises to fire up the fast twitch muscles ready for the primary lift to lift as explosive as possible but leaving 2-3 reps in reserve which means 2-3 reps you could have still done. This will maintain form and technique with speed and power.
Speed and Power Exercise to prime your body for compound exercises
Using this method you will not fatigue your muscles and you will be injury prone so you can really perform all compound movements with good technique as utlizing whole body workouts can be quite taxing on the body. You can go till failure on the last isolation exercise either bi-ceps or triceps.
Hope this explanation is helpful in helping you become a better athlete in your sport or just to be functional. Please drop your opinions in the comments and interact with us please.
Do you utilize mobility, speed or power exercises before lifting weights?
Yes
No
Training to failure too early in the microcycle fatigues the central nervous system, decreases power output, and slows recovery. Saving failure work for the end of the week allows athletes to maintain velocity, technique quality and high intent on explosive lifts.
