Ok the situation that I am in is that during the season here in alaska, i was invited onto and elite team and we are going to the AZ fall classic. Im only going to be a junior, and may only get 1 start and 3 or 4 pinch hits, but i really really badly want to impress the scouts at a young age. And so I have T-minus 2 months.
***My question is should i resume my off-season plan for the two months, or should I resort to a so called "in-season" plan?***
- I dont know of an in-season plan so if someone could point me that way, that would be excellent.
My Off-Season Weight Lifting Routine : Its an 8 week program, with the overload principle, and week 1-4 are 50% less weight than week 5-8. (Meaning hypothetically if i benched 100lbs at a max 1 set with 8 reps, then i would do that for 4 weeks and then i would boost it to 150 lbs.) The overload principle that i use is where i do 1 set, with 8 reps and you max yourself to where you can barely do the last rep. And the multi Set the same principle, but more recovery time between set to do the same each set even if i have to take off weight.

Thanks for any suggestions!
