This means lower frequencies. PreparednessMore care for preparedness means slower progressions, smaller % increases in loading week to weekLonger warmups Prep work becomes more extensiveConsiderations for Strength bodybuilding, powerlifting, tempo, low load weightlifting >> intense weightliftingConsiderations for Conditioning endurance, cyclical modalities >> lactic, mixed modalitiesConsiderations for Gymnastics strict gymnastics, tempo, low fatigue skill work >> dynamic gymnastics, highly fatiguedIt’s not that you can never do the sport-specific stuff, just less of it overall to allow for more recovery, and you need to spend more time on the front end building preparedness.
