For my plyometric workouts the planned time has varied from 30 minutes to 48 min for the same list of exercises. Does that mean i do as many sets as possible until i reach the planned time? It typically takes me about 20 minutes for the complete workout then i either start repeating or add other drills.

Here’s my impression as a fellow athlete here.
Listening to his youtube video explanation, Prof mentions how you incorporate your own stuff, focusing on areas that are weak for you or specific areas of improvement. I typically add a core floor routine working abs and back then mix it up between deadlifts, kettlebell swings, and sometimes upper body stuff like pushups, pull ups. I have loved adding eccentric loading exercises after having listened to the recent Training Science Podcast episode on it.
I think the theme to remember is to not take the workouts so far that it is going to impact your performance on your primary sport workouts. So for me doing triathlon, I try to not do so much that I’m so super sore that I can’t do the VO2max run workout the next day. The strength training is really to help prevent injury and strengthen support muscles and you don’t need much gym time to check that box off.

Hey @Exeter1109
could you please let me know which sport training plan, which volume (low-mid-high) and week (base 1-3, build 1-3) you see the altered strength training sessions with 48mins. thanks, MJ
Mj, I’m doing triathlon training. Sprint Distance Mid Volume Recovery Week. the previous week was Build 2 if that helps. The most interesting part for me is why 48 minutes was planned for such a short list of drills and limited reps/sets. That’s why I’m wondering if I’m misinterpreting the training plan.
