Odd Haugen's Workout

General: I typically train 4 to 6 times a week year-round. The most common configuration is

• Monday:Upper Body Dynamic/Explosive Strength Training;
• Tuesday: Lower Body Max Effort/ Absolute Strength Training;
• Wednesday: Rest;
• Thursday: Upper Body Max Effort/ Absolute Strength Training;
• Friday: Lower Body Dynamic/Explosive Strength Training;
• Saturday and/or Sunday: Event Training.

Each training session starts with Self Myo-Fascial Release (SMR) using a foam roll, followed by a 5 to 10 minutes warm-up on the LifeCycle®, Active Stretching, and Core Stabilization and/or corrective exercises for my shoulders.

Each training session should end with more SMR and Static Stretching, but this is omitted more often than not. During some periods I will do some cardio training on the Life Cycle® or LifeFitness® Treadmill. The cardio training is more for health than performance.

Competition: The week before and the week after a competition I only train two days each week;

• Upper Body Dynamic/Explosive Strength Training one day and Lower Body Dynamic/Explosive Strength Training the other day.

I usually allow for 2 to 3 days rest prior to a competition and 1 to 2 days rest after a competition.
