Procedure

Identify Training Phase: Determine the user's current athletic season (Off-season, Pre-season, In-season, or Post-season).
- For In-season athletes, prioritize maintenance by maintaining high intensity but reducing total volume.
- For Post-season athletes (2–4 weeks), prioritize active recovery and regeneration.
Establish Frequency and Volume:
- Aim to schedule resistance training for each muscle group twice per week to optimize hypertrophic outcomes.
- For strength development in well-trained individuals, consider frequencies of 3+ times per week, provided total weekly volume is managed.
Schedule to Minimize Interference:
- Maintain a gap of 6 to 24 hours between sport-specific practice and strength sessions whenever possible to minimize the interference effect.
- Sequence the most critical session of the day first (e.g., if strength is the priority, perform it before endurance/sport work).
- If a sport involves high-volume running, exercise caution with high-volume lower-body lifting on the same day.
Select Training Intensity and RPE:
- Use "Reps in Reserve" (RIR) or Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) rather than training to failure to avoid excessive neuromuscular fatigue that could hinder sport practice.
- Minimize the use of advanced techniques like drop-sets during high-frequency sport blocks due to their high demand for recovery.
Monitor Recovery:
- Evaluate fatigue levels within the microcycle.
- If sport-specific volume increases suddenly, proactively adjust the strength volume (sets and reps) downward while keeping intensity high to preserve power.
Log and Adapt:
- Use create_workout and add_exercise to build the sessions based on the parameters above.
- Use remember to track the user's current RPE trends across their combined sports and strength schedule.
