In-season Training

Buddy system with someone that will push him (So. or Jr.), he has to maintain what he worked so hard for!

If there is an "Anytime Fitness" (or a similar gym that is open 24/7) I would recommend a membership there.  It has really worked out well for our 2021, since his schedule seems to be changing week to week based on homework amounts etc etc

Lots of good resources available online from people like EC, but one of the main principles for maintaining off season gains, is to maintain high intensity, decrease volume.

He can do "maintenance" lifts, which is an abbreviated routine of key lifts (mainly deadlift, squat) with fewer reps, but normal amount of weight.  This takes 20-30 minutes a couple times a week and the athlete will maintain strength throughout the season.  My son will do this during lunch or a free block.  It's made a big difference in strength.  I've given you an outline of what my  son's trainer puts him on but you can do a little research and get much more info on this.  As I understand things it is a pretty standard approach to in-season lifting.

Thanks for the tips.  Hope everyone has a great season!

I agree. A relatively low volume at a relatively high intensity (not quite  max lifts but heavy lifts 4-8 reps) 2-3 times a week should keep most of your strength. You won't gain much strength (unless you are a novice lifter) and maybe you will even lose a little if you are an experienced lifter but you will at least keep like 90% of your strength while if you don't lift at all you will get weaker at the end of the season.

Don't do too much though or you can burn out your cns in combination with all the game stress.
