A glimpse!

This time of year, this is what my workouts look like. With all my workouts, I start off foam rolling also known as self myofascial release.  After which I do some anatomical therapy to correct some imbalances I have. The AT work is followed by some core work.  Then I'll do some skips, jump rope, box jumps and then some lunch walks.  My first lift will be either the snatch, the clean or the jerk.  Next I'll either back squat or front squat or on the third day snatch balance.  Then I'll work on an upper body pushing exercise and an upper body pulling exercise normally on the same plane.  So this is a typical off-season workout that an athlete would do for a sport that has a predictable season.  In my case I'm just planning on June through September being my quote unquote season for beach volleyball.  As I get closer to my season and in the season itself, I will do a lot more jumping and only train twice a week. I will do probably one lift a workout which will be a compounded lift.  An example would be like a clean and press, a clean and push press or a clean and jerk.
