1. Weight Training 146Teacher In-Service Lee E. Brown, EdD, CSCS*D
2. Introduction to Strength Training Understand physiological foundation
Safety
Technique
Modes and actions of exercise
Program design
3. Testing 1RM
Large muscle groups only
Involves technique
5 or 10RM
Estimate 1RM
Less stressful
Correlation
Handgrip
4. Exercise Selection Modes
Isotonic
Isometric
Elastic
Actions
Concentric-shorten
Eccentric-lengthen
Isometric-no change
5. Spotting None with machines
None with overhead lifts
None with Olympic lifts
From behind on free weights
Safety first!
6. Specificity Individual exercises for goal
Work multi-joint
Know muscles
Know why?
7. Periodization Vary the program
Change exercises and volume
Change intensity
Undulate the program monthly
8. Progressive Overload Gentle increases
Specific adaptation to imposed demands
Overload for goal of training
9. General to Specific Start with large muscle groups
Start with multi-joint
End with single joints
Small muscles last
10. Simple to Complex Exercises (not daily routine)
Learn simple exercises first
Teach advanced after training age increases
Machines to free weights
11. Exercise Selection Core exercises first
Assistance exercises last
12. Frequency 2 to 3 times per week
Increase with training
Split routines
Vary body parts
13. Intensity (Load) 60%-85%
Begin low and increase
Choose relative to goals
14. Repetitions 2-15 reps
Load and reps are inversely related
Load increases-reps decrease
Decrease reps as program increases
15. Volume Sets x reps
Multiple vs. single sets
Begin with single and move to multiple
Anything works with beginners
16. Super Sets Agonist then antagonist
Saves rest time
Speeds workout
May decrease load
Push/pull
17. Rest Energy systems
1:1 to 5:1
Increase rest with load
Begin short and increase to long
Load will determine rest
18. Velocity Slow and controlled for strength
2-4 seconds each action
Super slow does not work
Super fast is too much momentum
Explosive for Olympic only
19. Breathing In and out
In during eccentric
Out during concentric
Does not matter as long as breathing
Must do valsalva for 1RM
20. Children and Adolescents Lots of attention
8-12 reps
2-3 sets
Lots of rest
Major muscle groups
21. Older Adults Lots of teaching
8-15 reps
2-3 sets
Lots of rest
Major muscles
Functional
22. Gender Females are not just small males
No difference in program design
Females lack testosterone
Females lack hypertrophy
Lower relative resistance
Females 65% strength of males
23. Age Maturational age
Chronological age
Training age
24. Form over Function No bad exercises!
Only contraindicated exercises
Bad form on exercises
25. Machines vs. Free Weights Machines easy to start
Machines teach technique
Machines don’t use balance
Free weights use accessory muscles
Free weights are advanced
Should teach both to everyone
26. DOMS Delayed onset muscle soreness
Eccentric actions
Peaks at 48-72 hours
Will resolve after few training sessions
27. Weight Room Supervision
Safety
Teach why
Test
