Guest guest Posted December 8, 2002 Report Share Posted December 8, 2002 There is the age-old argument about which sort of strength training programme to use: 1. A program which uses a small number of well-tried exercises and a few variations 2. A program uses many variations regularly. A major argument argument in favour of Method 1 is that there is less tendency for the athlete to become stiff and suffer DOMS by having to adapt all the time to different novel exercises. Another argument is that this approach requires less equipment and requires far less time. A major argument in favour of Method 2 is that the frequent use of variety prevents stagnation physiologically and mentally. Would anyone care to comment on each of the above approaches and suggest which one is superior in sports training, giving reasons and references to support your point of view?
