This marks the end of the 6th week of the 8 week cycle. Research suggests that it takes approximately 6 weeks of a consistent and solid strength program to form concrete strength gains and CNS adaptation. I certainly felt very strong yesterday on all strength movements performed. I believe I now have the ability to consciously tense all the muscles needed to for a static hold, (though I have a long way to go). The past couple of weeks I have been off of the M/T/TH/F schedule, but have still been hitting four days a week. I also have not sprinted in about 2 weeks and it's driving me crazy. This week, I should be back on the correct gymnastic progression schedule and should be able to get in 2 solid days of sprinting: Wed. and Sun.
