It is then the strength and conditioning coach realises the critical role that planning plays in program design to achieve sequential flow on the weight room floor. This presentation will outline key elements related to the ‘science’ (scientific foundation of coaching) and ‘art’ (putting science into practice) of managing large groups in the weight room. This includes: Conceptualising your approaches to planning; Fundamental principles dealing with large groups; Sequential flow in the weight room; Safety considerations; Exercise selection and non-traditional exercises; and Best worst-case scenario.
