FIELD & COURT / EDUCATION
A week you can actually repeat
for Lacrosse.
Build a base for field speed, cutting and repeated stick work.
FIELD GUIDE / 05Place the hard work
Two strength days and one easier aerobic session around field work.
A repeatable structure
Day 1: strength from the main workout. Day 2: technical practice or easy aerobic work. Day 3: controlled conditioning. Day 4: second strength workout. Keep an easier day after your most demanding play day. Use easy aerobic work plus selected repeatable field intervals.
Adjust the dial
When practices or matches rise, reduce gym sets before dropping the habit entirely. Reduce lifting volume when practices and matches intensify.
Three movements to understand
These are examples of general physical preparation. Tap any movement for target muscles, setup, execution, common errors and an easier alternative.
Supported split squat
Quadriceps and glutes; hip stabilizers assist. Use a wall or rail for balance; lower vertically and press through the front foot.
FULL TECHNIQUE GUIDE ↗Dumbbell Romanian deadlift
Hamstrings and posterior chain. Keep weights close and shift hips back with a long spine.

One-arm dumbbell row
Lats, rhomboids, mid-back and biceps. Brace your free hand and pull elbow toward the hip.
FULL TECHNIQUE GUIDE ↗Put this into your week
Two strength days and one easier aerobic session around field work. Use easy aerobic work plus selected repeatable field intervals.
Begin with a manageable session and record how it affects the next practice. If you can complete every set with sound form and recover well, add a repetition or modest resistance. If quality or recovery falls, reduce a set or move the session away from the hardest sport day.
Stick skills, checking technique and game tactics require qualified coaching. Reduce lifting volume when practices and matches intensify.
Evidence and interpretation
General training evidence informs this guide. The sport-specific exercise choices are coaching applications; training response varies by person and season.
General education. Work within your ability and seek qualified advice for injury, symptoms, contact technique or return to play.
