Presentation
First of all, let’s mention that you should follow a general muscle reinforcement program before focusing on specific preparation.
Why? Simply because bases will help you withstand the work load. As for the drills we are about to show you, you can shorten the length or reduce the number of repetitions to start with.
Instructions
You can practice those drills before every training for 20-30 minutes or on dedicated sessions.
Don’t double up those types of sessions with lactic sessions. That’s why those types of preparations are usually implemented during winter time. Listen to Yann Guyader’s opinion about it on the video above!
