90kg force production focus — explosive starts, Deadlift power, and ORIF ankle reinforcement. Every session builds a harder-to-beat CB.
Only one team session (Wed). You self-provide: Mon Velocity & Violence, Tue Ankle Armor & Strength, Thu The Furnace, Fri upper + primer. Match on Sat or Sun.
Toggle Saturday vs Sunday match. Bye weeks become Development (Enforcer volume spike + Saturday Circuit) or Regeneration (mini-deload).
90kg explosive starts — CB-specific mixed starts with full recovery.
- 0:00-0:08 A-Skips 2x15m (high-knee march for hip flexion) + B-Skips 2x15m (leg extension before ground contact)
- 0:08-0:15 Enforcer Pogos 3x10 — rapid stiff-ankle ground contacts (jump with locked knees, minimal ground time)
- 0:15-0:40 Mixed Starts 10x20m: Falling, Stalking/Turn, Lateral, Tackle-Reset (see Daily Briefing for full descriptions)

- Eccentric Squats: 3x5 @ RPE 6-7 (~60-65% 1RM) with 5-second lowering (builds tendon resilience)
- Weighted Tibialis Raises 3x15 (raise toes toward shin with weight — front-of-shin strength for ORIF ankle)
- Max Effort Calf Iso: 45s holds per side (hold top of calf raise on step edge)
Match-intensity engine work — Violence Finishers simulate tackle-to-sprint transitions.

- Conditioning: 6x15-20s tempo runs or 6x20m RSA
- Strength: 1–2 back-off sets each of squat/hinge and an upper pull
- Mobility 10 min (ankle/hip/adductor)
- Played 60–90 min? Skip and take full recovery walk + mobility
- Main lifts stay around RPE 7
- Sprint volume: 6x15m
- Week 4 deload (drop volume ~40%)
- Top sets trend to RPE 8
- Sprints: 7x15m if legs feel good
- Week 8 deload
- Strength volume slightly lower
- Sprints: 6x20m full rest
- Week 12 deload
- Maintain strength at RPE 7-8
- Keep speed sharp, minimal fatigue
- If matches intense, 1 back-off set only
- If Monday speed lingers: Tuesday = main lift + 1 hamstring set only
