Weekly 7-Day Training Blueprint
- Do resistance training three times per week and add daily lower-intensity work on other days.
- Pair three hard lifting sessions with four cardio sessions including three zone-2 and one VO2 max day.
Warm Up With Movement Prep Not Treadmill
- Warm up with movement-specific drills that mirror the lifts instead of generic cardio.
- Use dynamic neuromuscular stabilization, mobility drills, light isolation work, and progressive jumping before heavy lifts.
Jumping Preserves Tendon Resilience
- Tendons lose pliability with age if you stop exposing them to jumping and rapid length changes.
- Small plyometric work like jump rope preserves tendon accommodation and reduces rupture risk.
