Hi Coach,
My son is currently on week 6 of your 915 program, he found out today that football tryouts will be Nov 14 at his university instead of the planned Feb timeframe, The original plan was to run 915 back to back then use the Canadian ascending-descending program for power and explosiveness as he neared Feb tryouts.
With the date moved up I was going to recommend that he begins Canadian ascending-descending next week for his lower body training. With the following considerations
-
sprints, intensive skill work and speed work or any CNS intensive activities scheduled same day as his weight sessions but preceding them
-
mobility, tempo runs or light skill work, recovery aids, on non-lift days,
Would you also recommend using the ascending-descending for upper body as well? Any feedback on my plans would be appreciated.
position-wise he’s played runningback, linebacker and safety. He received a scholarship to a small Division II school and played there as a freshman before transferring back closer to home with hopes of walking on at the Division I level.
