The length of our workouts on land will largely be dependent on what the objective of the session is.<\/p>\n

Workouts during the season can be longer, and workout during taper may be shorter – at least in terms of the actual work-time, compared to the prep- and cool-down time.<\/p>\n

Generally speaking, the body has about a good 30-45 minutes of \u201cmaking strength gains.\u201d Past this time, we tend not to get as much adaptations from the training, beyond endurance, mental strength, and resilience. If we want to develop strength, power, or add muscle mass, our total work time should not exceed 45 minutes to be a full body incorporation.<\/p>\n

Warm-ups can range from 5-20 minutes depending on prior daily activity, such as swimming. If the lift is the first session of the day, I encourage more time to warm-up and prepare the body properly before getting after it.<\/p>\n
