INTRODUCTION

The Strength Series helps you develop the strength you need to perform at your best. Each training phase in this series also helps to reduce your risk for
injury, improve your cardiovascular fitness, and increase your work capacity—that is, your ability to get more done in your workout and other activities.

The series will progress you through 3 phases of training. Each phase builds on the work you completed in the previous phase and prepares you for what’s
to come.

PHASE 1: BUILD MUSCLE


This phase of training is focused on building lean muscle mass and improving your body’s capacity to handle greater physical demands. To help achieve
these goals, the workouts in this phase will challenge you with higher volumes of work and a progressive increase in intensity.

PHASE 2: GET STRONG


This phase of training is focused on building strength. Compared to Phase 1, you’ll do fewer repetitions and dial up the intensity. Use weights that are
challenging, but allow you to complete all your repetitions with solid form. A good rule of thumb: If the last 1-2 reps aren’t hard, it’s too light. You can also
expect challenging timed sets that continue to develop your work capacity.

PHASE 3: GET POWERFUL


In this phase of training, you’ll harness your newfound strength and move explosively to perform with greater power. The way in which movements or drills
are paired in this phase will elicit explosive strength gains, training your muscles to be fast and forceful. The movements in this phase also help protect you
from injury.

HOW TO SET UP YOUR SCHEDULE

INTRODUCTION

WORKOUT DURATION:
Each workout has three duration options. A small icon represents each duration, as shown below. Simply perform the movements with the corresponding
icon that represents the workout time option that fits your schedule best.

S Short = 45 minutes M Medium = 60 minutes L Long = 75 minutes

If the movements in these workouts are new to you, it may take you longer than the duration specified to complete your workouts. As you become familiar
with the movements, you’ll be able to complete them in the allotted time.

Within each Strength workout, there are multiple circuits. You should perform each circuit by completing each exercise in succession with little to no rest
between exercises or sets. Once you’ve completed all the sets in a circuit, rest 1 to 2 minutes before starting the next circuit.

HOW STAGES WORK:


Each phase in the Strength Series has 3 progressive stages across Pillar Prep, Movement Prep, and Strength. As you advance through the stages,
you’ll notice that the repetitions, time, or number of circuits you perform may change. Advance to the next stage of training after every 4 workouts—this
means after you’ve completed Workout A and Workout B twice (ABAB). Once you complete the final stage in the phase, progress to the next phase
of training.

TRAINING EQUIPMENT:
The equipment used in this series includes: Barbells Dumbbells Weight bench

CARDIOVASCULAR TRAINING TIPS:


The cardio workouts included in the Strength Series are interval-based, meaning you’ll vary your effort within a single workout to improve various aspects
of your cardio fitness. Training zones are the building blocks of these cardio workouts. Each workout consists of one or more training zones; each zone
represents a level of effort (easy, medium, and hard). But how do you know you’re exercising at the right effort? You can perform these interval workouts
by measuring your effort in one of two ways: (i) heart rate training, or (ii) rate of perceived exertion.

Heart Rate Training


One way to calculate your training zones is based on your maximum heart rate (Max HR). If you have a heart rate monitor, you can measure your heart rate
as you train to stay in each zone. If you don’t know your Max HR, you can estimate it by using the following formula: Max HR = 220 – your age.

Once you’ve calculated your approximate Max HR, use the percentages below to determine your heart rate training zone for each interval.

Rate of Perceived Exertion


Your rate of perceived exertion (RPE) is a simple and effective way to determine your training intensity when performing intervals. RPE uses a scale of 1-10
to rate your effort. A rating of 1 is equivalent to standing still, while a rating of 10 represents the most strenuous level of activity you can sustain. Use
these general guidelines to put forth the right effort for each interval.

TARGET YOUR TRAINING ZONES

RPE LEVELS HEART RATE


Target Description Target My Heart Rates

MAX 10/10 Maximum effort. Give it all you got! 100% Max HR

HARD 9/10 Extremely strenuous and difficult to maintain. 90% Max HR

MODERATE 7/10 Rapid breathing. Can’t talk now! 80% Max HR

EASY 5/10 Moving with purpose, but still able to talk comfortably. 65% Max HR

Great workout today. See the regeneration strategies section to help your body
recover so you can be strong for your next workout.
REGENERATION
STRATEGIES
WORK + REST = SUCCESS

TOTAL BODY • ACHES AND PAINS • FLEXIBILITY

The Regeneration sessions will help you balance the work you put into your training sessions with movements designed to help your body recover
efficiently. Think of it as keeping your body ready to face the demands of your next bout of training.

Movements in these sessions focus on soft tissue self-massage utilizing a foam roll and trigger point ball, as well as flexibility routines. These strategies
will help you rebalance the length and tension of your muscles, break up knots and reduce stiffness, and increase circulation to flush your system and
re-energize your body.

WORKOUT EMPHASIS AND DURATION:


There are six sample Regeneration sessions, each with a unique focus.

Total-Body Regeneration – 20 minutes


This session uses self-massage strategies to address the quality of your muscle tissue throughout your entire body, from head to toe. A great way to finish
a tough workout, you’ll want to do this after every training session once you experience the benefits of giving your muscles a massage. You’ll feel better
afterwards, limit post-workout soreness, and encourage your body to recover faster from training.

Targeted Relief of Aches and Pain - 10 minutes each


(Hip and Knee Pain, Lower Back and Hip Pain, Shoulder and Neck Pain)
These sessions use targeted self-massage strategies to relieve tension in your muscles and remove stress from problem areas that cause your aches
and pain. These targeted problem areas include: (i) Hip and Knee Pain, (ii) Lower Back and Hip Pain, and (iii) Shoulder and Neck Pain. In addition to
alleviating pain, these routines will help you move better and help reduce your risk for further pain or injury.

Flexibility Focus – 5 minutes each


These two sessions include fundamental flexibility moves. You’ll need a stretch strap for one session, but no equipment for the other routine.
Both sessions help rebalance your body, prevent stiffness and tension, and restore the proper length in your muscles required to perform your best.

HOW TO SET UP YOUR SCHEDULE:


Regeneration sessions can be incorporated almost anywhere in your schedule to provide a variety of benefits to your training.

Before Training
• Used prior to your scheduled workout, Regeneration sessions that focus on self-massage strategies help prime your body for activity by releasing
tension, increasing circulation, and helping activate, or turn on, key stabilizing muscles used in your workout.

Post-Training
• Used after your workout, Regeneration helps flush your system of any lactic acid built up from your training session. It also reinforces the optimal length
and tension of your muscles, helping to reduce post-workout stiffness.

Recovery Days
• During your scheduled recovery days, doing the Regeneration sessions is a great way to actively recover and prepare your body for your next
training session.

Daily Routines
• Another great way to add Regeneration sessions to your schedule is to find a small window of time during your day. Spending 10 minutes for
regeneration each morning when you wake up, for example, or 10 minutes before bed helps reinforce the balance your body needs to function optimally.

TRAINING EQUIPMENT:
The equipment used in these Regeneration sessions may include: Foam Roller Trigger Point Ball Stretch Strap

NUTRITION CONSIDERATIONS

Nutrition is your training partner throughout The Strength Series. Your body is going to need carbohydrate for energy and protein to rebuild muscles.
Many sailors looking to maximize their muscle mass and strength ignore the big picture and only focus on one or two key nutrients. By ensuring
your foundational and recovery needs are met, you‘ll give your body the blend of nutrients it needs to achieve your goals.

TO MAXIMIZE YOUR STRENGTH AND MUSCLE MASS GAINS, YOU NEED TO:

FUEL.
• Use the Meal Builder to guide your nutrition, and get the energy (calories) your body needs to support your activity
• Meet your carbohydrate needs through high-fiber, minimally processed carbs, fruits, and veggies
• Focus on getting enough carbs before and during your workout to fuel your body.
• To stay fueled on the go, choose bars with least 30 g of carbohydrate, 3 g of fiber, and 10-30 g of protein.

BUILD.
• Meet your protein needs, but don’t eat more than 1 g of protein per pound of body weight per day

RECOVER.
• Recover with a 3:1 carb to protein ratio within the first 30 minutes of completing your training session.

FOUNDATIONAL NUTRITION
Optimizing your foundational nutrition will ensure you have a solid fueling base to optimize performance and recovery.
Below you will find a review of the basic fueling principles. For more information on these areas, refer back to Fueling Series.

EATING CLEAN: This means eating whole natural foods,


such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and high-fiber
carbohydrates, and limiting processed foods, fast food,
EAT CLEAN and foods high in sugar and fat.

EATING OFTEN: Eating frequently helps control blood sugar


and energy levels. Opt for five or six meals/snacks a day,
which is equivalent to eating every 2.5 – 3 hours.

HYDRATE: To stay hydrated aim to drink 1⁄2 to 1 ounce per


RECOVER EAT OFTEN pound of body weight per day. Make water and other
naturally non-caloric beverages your first drink choice.
NUTRITION

RECOVER: To avoid wasting your workout, eat a


combination of carbs and protein within 30 minutes of
completing your workout. Proper nutrition at the proper
time will help you refuel, rehydrate, rebuild your body,
and reach your goal quicker.
MINDSET HYDRATE
MINDSET: Use food to fuel your body for maximum
performance. Strive to choose the foods that are best for
you at least 80% of the time and enjoy other foods 20%
of the time.

MEAL BUILDER

The biggest barriers to great nutrition are poor planning and poor implementation. The nutrition blueprint and meal builder make it easy to build
meals and snacks that will keep you fueled and help you reach your goals. This tool will help you stay organized and create an environment for
success. Always remember the 80/20 rule as you look to sustainably upgrade your nutrition. Choose high octane fuel 80% of the time and lower
octane fuel that you really enjoy 20% of the time.
