As the name implies, General Strength and Conditioning II focuses primarily on improving strength and conditioning. It can be used as an off-season program for an athlete. general strength training, during a weight loss phase, or as a conditioning-focused training phase for a serious lifter. 

Equipment Requirements

Equipment-wise, we recommend that folks have access to barbells, a rack, weights, and a bench. Additional stuff like an adjustable bench, dumbbells, etc. are nice, but not necessary for this template. The user can select their own exercises based on equipment availability and preferences.

For conditioning, running, rowing, cycling, and other modes are all fine options depending on access and personal preferences. 

Scheduling

There are two, 10-week strength and conditioning programs containing two blocks of programming. One is a 3-days-per-week lifting program and the other is 4-days-per week. Conditioning is programmed 3- to 5-days per week. 

We expect each lifting session to take between 50- to 80-minutes depending on the individual. The length of conditioning sessions range 20- to 50-minutes. 

Summary

General Strength and Conditioning II is a great choice for those who want to improve their strength and cardio. The conditioning programming can be used alongside other training programs, while the discussion in the included eBook will help enthusiasts and coaches alike. Happy Training!
