Oppositely directed planning of the volume and intensity of a weightlifter’s load





Qualified athletes need to plan their load more carefully in the last week before the competition in order to create conditions not only for recovery, but also for super-recovery of performance by the day of the competition.

Lightweight athletes typically train at maximum intensity on day 3 of the week. For them, the load (for example, for athletes of the 1st stage and kms) can be distributed as follows:

  1. 1st day of the week - maximum volume of load (70 lifts), intensity below average;
  2. Day 3 – medium volume (50 lifts), maximum intensity;
  3. Day 5 – minimum volume (36 lifts), average intensity;
  4. 6th and 7th day - rest,
  5. Day 8 - competition.

Athletes in light heavy and heavy weight categories often train at maximum intensity on the 1st day of the week. Their load can be distributed as follows:



  1. 1st day of the week—average load volume (50 lifts), maximum intensity;
  2. Day 3—maximum volume of load (65 lifts), intensity below average;
  3. Day 5 - minimum volume (40 lifts), average intensity;
  4. Day 7 – minimum volume (35 lifts), minimum intensity;
  5. Day 8 - competition.

Such oppositely directed planning of the volume and intensity of the load in the last week is most appropriate, although other options are possible. In the process of preparing for competitions, each athlete must choose the most optimal training option for himself in the last week.

Well, and finally, a little curious thing: you can buy a weightlifting belt, magnesia, as well as other sports accessories, for example, such as a judo kimono or a good punching bag in the online store budo-market.ru. Even though it is more aimed at martial arts fans, you will still find a lot of useful things there. We recommend!
