"How to design a program"
Stop asking me about "That program". Both you coaches and trainee.
In fact, ESPECIALLY if you're a coach. Where is the logic, in this? You can't "buy" a program from someone, and then apply it to everyone in the gym for weightlifting. That's just disrespectful to the athlete, the sport and yourself.
That's called "fitness". Fitness can be defined differently if you ask 20 different people. That's not a sport.
Weightlifting is a real sport. It has history, has real corners. Corners which you gotta stick within. You've got to respect the requirements, the rules of this sport.
The requirements of this sport is;
1. Balance
2. Coordination
3. Rhythm
4. Consistency in movement
5. Strength
6. Power
7. Speed
How do you design a one off program, with all these in mind? You DON'T. You prioritise! It's not complex.
1. You start with your general template to training a newbie.
2. You calculate the time required by the newbie to adapt to certain elements of training such as technique, speed, strength, coordination, etc. 2 weeks? 4 weeks? 5? It'll be different in each element.
3. You then pick the biggest issue with the newbie, design the system around the newbie. I repeat, SYSTEM AROUND ATHLETE. If it's a quick adapting newbie, you can go through 1 macrocycle within just 14 weeks. If it's a slower adapting one, I've done up to 20 weeks for one macrocycle.
4. You apply and constantly tweak based on newbie's performance. As the kid becomes more in tune with the training, the cycles drop to just 10 weeks-14 weeks.
This entire process takes generally just about one year. It's not long. Take your time and learn. If you don't got a coach, well LUCKY YOU! Now you get to learn much much more cuz you're your own coach. Like me
