Re: Off-season training
Looks good - how are you alternating the training days? You have 5 days listed, but you are lifting 3 days a week....
For me, I'm pushing for some PR's in squat & overhead press by Dec 31st, and I've also integrated some speed work.
Right now I'm doing a variation of Wendler's 5/3/1, 3 days a week, but I'm squatting each day, because my squats (and flexibility) need a lot of work.
For speed/explosiveness, I'm aiming for Sprints Monday, Bounding (plyometrics) on Tuesday, Box jumps on Friday & hills on Saturdays. I'm doing short distances & focusing on speed & power not cardio. I don't hit them all every week, but that's ok, I'll get more intense with it starting in January. I'll also taper the intensity through Jan-Feb-March-April...
In January, I'm also switching to The Juggernaut Method by Chad Wesley Smith, which will have me doing some higher rep cycles in January & Feb, which will be good for me.
My throwing technique needs a lot of work, so I'm trying to do drills 5 days a week, when I can fit it in & practice on the weekends (when kid's soccer doesn't interfere). Again, I don't beat myself up if I miss something, because I have a very busy schedule with work & family, so I view it as a set of goals each week & try to get as close as I can.
