Understanding the Athlete's Goals
Primary Goals: Increase bench press, squat, shoulder press, and deadlift strength.
Secondary Goals: Improve ankle stability and strength.
Constraints: Ankle injury, training frequency of twice per week.
Program Structure
Training Split
Given the athlete's goals and time constraints, a full-body split will be most efficient. This allows for hitting all major muscle groups and compound lifts in each session while providing adequate recovery time.
Exercise Selection
Core Lifts: Bench press, squat, shoulder press, deadlift.
Accessory Lifts: To support the core lifts and address ankle stability.
Ankle Stabilization and Strengthening: Specific exercises to rehabilitate the ankle.
Adjust based on your experience level and equipment availability.
Additional Tips
Nutrition: Fuel your body with a balanced diet rich in protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats.
Hydration: Stay well-hydrated before, during, and after workouts.
Rest: Allow sufficient time for recovery between workouts.
Listen to your body: Pay attention to any signs of overtraining or injury.
Note: Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new workout regimen.
