Faqs

1. How many days a week should a track athlete follow a strength and conditioning routine?

Strength and conditioning routine is designed for 4 training days per week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, focusing on a mix of Olympic lifts, squats, presses, and accessory exercises.

2. Why are warm-up sets included before main lifts?

Warm-up sets (e.g., 3x3 or 3x5) prepare muscles and joints, reduce injury risk and help the athlete lift heavier safely during main working sets.

3. Should abs and calves be trained every day?

Yes, performing abs and calves during warm-ups all 4 days helps strengthen the core and lower legs, which are essential for sprinting, jumping, and overall athletic performance.
