I think I am looking at this from strictly a powerlifting perspective (which I thought that the poster was interested in), and I think you are looking at this from a long term athlete building perspective. If that is the case, I don't disagree with you.

If you compete in a powerlifting meet(s), you absolutely want to follow a peaking cycle, you don't just want to train and let the chips fall where they may. Powerlifters compete in meets that are basically three attempts per lift at one rep maxes. If you don't prepare your body for that, regardless of age, you are asking for trouble. There is an "art" to performing max singles well, which is how you are "evaluated" at a powerlifting meet. Many lifters are good repetition lifters but struggle when it comes to a heavy single. But you also don' t want to do heavy singles all the time either for many reasons. A well planned peaking cycle is paramount IMHO.

I appreciate your input, I think you typically mean well and have much to offer. I could reveal my credentials in an effort to gain more credibility but that is not my style nor my interest.

im pretty sure you have more skins on the wall than me based off stuff you have posted before

and yea Im looking at it as....lets not peak now, lets peak as a junior or senior so keep on pushing, whatever you put up as a freshman or soph...cool...but dont worry about single specific meet or peaking cycle until like junior year and yea im looking at it from overall athletic ability

if just powerlifting and that is all she is doing and she is really worried about now...then sure, do a peaking cycle.

Really good game. Line score almost identical but two of Barbe’s hits left the yard. Two HRs accounted for four of their five runs before extras. St. Louis threw two of their top pitchers. Littleton did not pitch for Barbe.

yea barbe didnt really throw any of their best arms. the freshman that pitched and Heath, the 1st baseman, would be 3 & 4 prolly. but still trying to piece that together

Jordin Griff had a great game with a triple and hr

really really proud of the fight St louis put up. Those seniors worked their butts off to try and win. Really hoping they get a championship this year. That senior class has worked towards this for years.

I was just offering my advice based on experience to a poster, the mistake I made was that I meant to reply to HIM and should not have technically replied to your post. So you win, and I will refrain from picking apart the holes in your reply.

ill be honest, im always trying to learn, would love to hear your reply

i train my powerlifters like athletes, none are advanced enough to worry about peaking or needing traditional dynamic work similar to the OPs daughter

I wouldnt train a traditional advanced powerlifter that away.

I actually like to start them in 4th-5th grade with heel elevated goblet squats, KB sumo, floor presses and Z presses

then advnaced to the program I laid out. in 8th or 9th I actually take them off the BMT waves for about 3-6 months and run a traditional novice linear progression trying to drive the big 4 up & drive bodyweight up. I keep the jumps in too

then when they stall we go back to the program i laid out. The NLP allows for them to build lots of tissue and joint rigidity before going back to the program I laid out.

go look at explosive mechanics insta to see the results this program produces.

and im all for earn your spot, earn your playing time.

all lhsaa said in the brief was

Once you attend a member school as a freshman, no matter where or what, you are fully eligible.

LHSAA does not handle acceptance in to the new school or regulate that in any way. That is all up to the school boards and the schools

When the state gets involved and forces LHSAA to allow 1 time transfer and end the split...it will be same way. Will govern eligibility only.

The Westside program is great, I use a lot of it's concepts. But I am also a seasoned veteran. I also dial the volume back because I am PED free. I think there is a time and place to introduce these things, usually later in their development.

the program I am describing is meant for junior high and high school kids. we dont rotate much like i said for this specific reason. same reason we dont use the speed stuff and instead use weighted jumps and resisted sprints and med ball throws for RFD.

quote:
At that age and minimal experience, the best thing she can do is focus on the squat, bench, and deadlift. I would not be adding in all of these different movements now. She has not done anywhere near close enough reps on the big 3 yet to be proficient at it. If you need some sort of program to follow for peaking, any basic progressive/linear overload should work at this stage, i.e. as the contest gets closer the weights get heavier and reps get lower. She will make significant gains just by creating the neural pathways involved in moving weights in these positions. I would also be trying different positioning when not peaking for a contest. Bar placement on her back for squats, stance, where toes point, etc. Hand and foot placement on bench, arch, sumo vs. conventional with DL, focusing on technique. It took me a few years to master my mechanics and figure out my best leverages.

i agree but she doesnt need a peaking cycle, just let the meet results fall where they do and look at long term picture, its why the Brief max tension with the undulating waves works so well

quote:
When I was that age, i would run say a 12 week peaking cycle, set PR's in each lift, then reset the next cycle/percentages based off of the new PR. If the goals are reasonalbe (say 5% for BP, 8-10% for SQ/DL), you should be able to repeat this progression for a while before plateauing.

imo she doesnt have the base to worry about a peaking cycle

quote:
At some point you WILL plateau, and that is when you start the tweaking IMHO. But they ALL need a base of strength that they just don't have at that age. I would keep it simple, the big 3 lifts, a compound movement for each lift that supplements it, and maybe an accessory lift or two, address a glaring weakness for each lift, etc.

pretty much the exact routine i said

its essentially 531 layout but using the undulating BMT waves

lower day-

warm up

med ball throws-5-8 reps with radar gun

DB jumps-4-6 jumps with the weight waved on OVR or Jump mat

box squat- work up to 2 heavy sets where the velocity is in the 0.3 range and making sure you get a big strain with each. take 3-5 min break

supplemental- either deadlift or reverse lunge or RFESS

accessory- GHD, reverse hypers

finish- weighted marches

upper-
warmup

sprints- 3-6 either resisted 10 yard or 10 yard dash or 10-10 flye. proper rest between each

broad jumps- 4-6 jumps

Bench- work up to 2-3 sets same way as box squats

supplemental- incline or a DB incline or db bench

accessories- chins, rows, triceps

finish- farmers carry

some of the best coaches in the US use this almost exact program and its for a reason.

again....what fricking part of none of these rules have zero affect on me or my kid? zero. So why the frick do you keep bringing it up thinking you fricking know anything about me, my kids or my parenting style. You thinking because i support full on school choice and have since before I was a parent has some affect on how I parent is fricking asinine. Stop with the attacks. yall got mad last time when i insulted back so lets not go down that road, stop with the personal attacks

i get it, you dont agree with me, thats fine

but other states are having a lot of success with this.

and yea you can go look for something better

why should the badass running back at the little 1a school not have the chance to play better competition if that is what he and his parents feel is best? because it hurts adult egos? because the team he is leaving might not be as good.... :lol:

I think we’re heading that direction anyway with the rise of club sports we’re seeing.

Here’s my only concern (not that I disagree with the idea but just a concern) as a teacher and coach at the high school level. Having these sports compete at the school level allows for better synergy between school and athletics and trying to enforce a healthy balance (grade requirements for participation, etc.). I know a lot of schools only loosely enforce those but still, it’s something. I’m already seeing kids have a lot of issues figuring out how to balance extra curriculars with school work. Having clubs take over athletics completely is only going to make that worse I think.

Like I said, overall I think it’s better in the long run for the two to separate. There’s just potential issues I would like to see worked out.

the problem with that is the sport that is at the club level the least is football, which is also the biggest sport

I think all other sports would be fine going to the club model

but again...why can other states manage full school choice and a transfer rule and everything is perfectly fine? How can florida, which is way more competitive handle it but Louisiana cant?

then can a school DENY any kid they want because the kid is very low academically and does NOT play sports and it will not effect the schools funding?

if they are coming from out of zone, absolutely they can deny the low academic kid. why would you think they couldnt? they already can.

Because it is more than about 1 kids experience. High School athletics are about building a program and biding your time and earning your shot. 1 time transfer goes against all of that. Sorry you didn't get to play in HS. If coach would have just given you a chance y'all would have won state right?

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

trust me I played. this isnt about me nor my kids.

none and i mean absolutely none of this affects me at all

your reasoning is 1 kid should absolutely hate his high school experience or at the very least, not do what he feels is best for him and his future....because he needs to sacrifice for the good of the program and the other kids? Would you do that with your job? someone offers you a better job...are you going to just pass it up because of some loyalty to your co-workers?

many of yall are way way too emotional about this, caught up in "the way its always been done" or "fairness" instead of letting the kid and family choose.

guess you hate school choice too right? how dare someone try to go to a better academic school?

and again...how can yall not see this is all part of clearing the path for full on school choice? and how can other states manage to have these rules in place and everything be fine...but little ole Louisiana cant do it?

If you choose to go to public school, then live somewhere you want your kids to go. Don't live in one area then try to put them in school somewhere else because sports. This culture of "my kid and his highschool athletic career are the most important thing" is insane.

it isnt the most important thing. but you realize they could be doing it for academics too? many times kids want to go to the better school but cant because they dont want to lose eligibility for athletics

and again...HS is a 1 time thing. let them go where they feel is best

quote:
Previously you say to poor performing schools. "Do better." That sounds great and all but what can a parent do to make a public school better in the limited window his kids will be there. The parents should have made the decision to live in the district they wanted their kids to go to. And if they can't do that, then too bad. The kid should stay and play in his district.

again....you hold the school accountable through the school board

and you realize school zones change right?

quote:
We have already seen what free transfers have done to college sports,

what has it done that is so bad? what...they can transfer just like regular students can?

you and I as traditionalist may not like it. but taking emotion out of it, its allowed way more teams to compete, its allowed kids to move for more playing time. The only thing that could be an issue is the buying of players but that will not be an issue at HS level, nobody cares enough to stroke a 50k check for a kid to come to a school

and the college game is more popular that ever before according to ratings

quote:
it will trickle down to highschool

what will? allowing way way more schools to be competitive than were before? again...lets take barbe baseball for example...last year they had I think 4 guys who didnt play but are playing in juco right now...do you think those kids would have liked to have the ability to transfer to a St Louis or a Westlake or a Grand lake etc....yea they would have. You will see a lot more kids leave the big schools because they are not starting than you will see the big schools snatching the 1 good kid from a small school.

quote:
This culture of doing whatever you can for your kids to maximize highschool playing time is ridiculous. You are teaching your kids horrible values and priorities.

i agree somewhat but again....I dont know each families specific reasoning for each so let them go where they feel is best

but also I understand a kid gets 1 shot at this...1. so why are we forcing archaic rules on them because "thats how its always been done?"

in the end...doesnt matter what you or I think. the freshman eligibility rule has already passed and 1 time transfer is coming, like it or not.

the rule would hurt a school like Barbe or sam houston in baseball because if a kid isnt starting going into junior year...they are going to leave. it will kill depth but it will help the small schools....that is far far far more likely than true recruiting because those schools are mainly getting the best players to move to that district anyways.

Posted by lsu777 on 3/3/26 at 8:11 am to tke_swamprat

my son does, i didnt but i run similar programming in the past when i was concentrating on it

I have my athletes I train run conjugate similar to the original westside. But because they are younger we use Brief max tension undulating waves in place of max effort work.

for speed stuff, we dont do that because they dont really have the ability to use the speed exercises to sharpen rate of force development because they do not have the motor unit recruitment ability to do that at the low speeds that traditional westside speed exercises do. Instead we use Dumbbell jumps in place of that and resisted 10 yard sprints or unweighted 10 yard dash or 10-10 flye.

we do everythign on the laser for sprinting and jumping. the DB jumps are waved similar to how Louie waved the dynamic work but much lower percentages. We run basically 7-20% of squat max in each hand. For example...kid squats 200, we run DB waves with 15s/20s/25s in 3 week wave

the bmt waves go 5 reps--> 3 reps+5%-->4 reps with same weight--->2 reps +5%-->3 reps with same weight-->1 rep +5%

all main lifts are done on VBT looking for last couple reps to be in the 0.3 range of avg velo.

we do 12" box squats with a 4" very soft foam pad with ssb bar usually as our main lift but we rotate out every 12-18 weeks or if they stall. we will switch to 16" or add chains or ssb reverse lunge with pause at the bottom

also sumo is our preferred deadlift

then on bench, mainly bench, incline, pin presses as main lift

if you go look at explosive mechanics, zac goodman, coach fahey., bird sports performance or OG defranco....that is the system I use for both my athletes and power lifters. Its actually all Louie's westside system just used a little different and pretty close to how he trained actual athletes

if PL gets to a point they want to specialize and have built a huge base....we will go full pure Westside OG original with just less rotation.
