Before continuing please be aware this is just ONE of the options you can use.
I’ve used several over the years and found this one to be very useful.
This example is based off training a group of 4 people with similar goals (strength & conditioning for this example)
You will split the group into partner pairs and have them alternate what they’re doing each session.
Here is the basic set up:
Sessions –
Lower Body Session A:
A1 – Squats 6×6
A2 – RDL 6×6-8
B1 – Walking Lunge 100 total reps
C1 – Calf Raise 100 total reps
Upper Body Session A:
A1 – Close Grip Bench Press 10,8,6,6,6
A2 – Chin Up x10-15 reps per set
B1 – Press Behind Neck 5×10
B2 – Dumbbell Row 5×10
Lower Body Session B:
A1 – Deadlift 6×6
A2 – Cyclist Squat 6×6-8
B1 – Kettlebell Swing 200-300 total reps
Upper Body Session B:
A1 – Incline Bench Press 6×6
A2 – Weighted Pull Up 6×6-8
B1 – Dip 5×10
B2 – Barbell Curl 5×20
Group Rotation –
Session 1 – Monday
Alpha Group: Lower Body A
Omega Group: Upper Body A
Session 2 – Tuesday
Alpha Group: Upper Body A
Omega Group: Lower Body A
Session 3 – Thursday
Alpha Group: Lower Body B
Omega Group: Upper Body B
Session 4 – Friday
Alpha Group: Upper Body B
Omega Group: Lower Body B
This is a 7 day training microcycle.
It’s super easy to apply.
And if you planned on only having 3 sessions per week here is what it’d look like:
Sessions –
Lower Body A – as above
Upper Body A – as above
Conditioning – as below
Conditioning Session:
A1 – Sprints 10×200-300m (time cap of 20min)
B1 – Double Kettlebell Complex 5×1-2-3-4-5 (Swing, Clean, Press, Squat, Row – time cap of 20min)
Group Rotation –
Session 1 – Monday
Alpha Group – Lower Body A
Omega Group – Upper Body A
Session 2 – Wednesday
Alpha/Omega – Conditioning
Session 3 – Saturday
Alpha Group – Upper Body A
Omega Group – Lower Body A
You’ll find this can be repeated anywhere from 6-10 weeks for a solid amount of accumulated volume whereby you’d increase the sets, reps or loading (probably the loading)
After which point something would be tweaked (volume, load, movement choices etc).
You can use the structure above for group up to 16 in size meaning 4 people per group – this would then become a movement focused set up.
If you’ve got any questions do leave them in a comment.
Enjoy,
