Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I’m progressing?
Progress is measured through:
Improved strength (e.g., lifting heavier weights or increasing reps).
Improved plyometric performance (e.g., jumping higher or quicker, quicker take off).
Better endurance and control during skiing. The app tracks metrics like 1RMs and rep ranges to help you see your progress.
What if I can’t perform a specific lift or exercise?
Each phase includes alternative exercises for most movements. For example:
If you can’t back squat, try another option
If plyos are too intense, reduce reps or heights or choose a different exercise for that category
Can I replace the accessory exercises?
Yes, you can swap accessories based on your preferences or available equipment. However, try to stick with movements that target the same muscle groups or serve the same purpose.
How do I know when to progress the weights?
Increase weights when:
You can complete all sets with the required reps in reserve (RIR).
Your technique remains solid throughout the sets. Avoid increasing weight too quickly, gradual progress is key.
What’s the purpose of AMRAP sets in Phase 4?
AMRAP (As Many Reps As Possible) sets are used to test strength and endurance gains. They allow you to push yourself safely within a controlled framework, providing a tangible measure of progress.
