Syllabus
01
Categories of Weight Training Exercises
Weight training exercises can be classified into distinct categories, each serving a unique purpose within a training program. Understanding these categories is essential for effectively designing and implementing training protocols.
02
Compatible Training Constructs
When training an athlete, the key to achieving high levels of adaptation is sending very clear biochemical messages to the body's adaptive processes. The clarity of these messages is determined by how different types of training are combined into sessions.
03
Foundations of Weight Training
This chapter outlines key principles of weight training, focusing on purposeful exercise selection, program design, and balancing localized and global physical responses. It emphasizes the importance of managing variables like tension, range of motion, and exercise balance while adjusting intensity based on real-time performance for effective athletic development
04
Training Phases
Annual or long term weight training can be organized into four phases: 1. Neural Preparation Phase 2. Strength Development Phase 3. In-Season Management Phase 4. Critical Competition Management Phase.
05
Olympic Lifting Protocols
This chapter covers three Olympic weightlifting protocols—Basic Power Development, Rate of Force Development, and Rate of Force Development Preparation—used progressively across four training phases to build power and strength safely.
06
Static Lifting Protocols
This chapter details three static weightlifting protocols—Absolute Strength Development (ASD), Absolute Strength Preparation (ASP), and Absolute Strength Complementary (ASC)—designed to progressively build and maintain strength throughout a four-phase training year.
07
Ballistic Lifting Protocols
This chapter explains Ballistic weightlifting protocols, particularly Reactive Strength Development (RSD) units, which use high-speed, low-load exercises to enhance explosive power and reactive strength.
08
Regional Lifting Protocols
This chapter covers Regional lifting protocols, focusing on bodybuilding and hypertrophy production to target specific muscle groups, promote hormonal benefits, and enhance recovery.
09
Assembling The Program: A Tutorial
This chapter outlines the process of assembling weight training programs for different phases of the training year, focusing on developmental smaller body types and providing sample workouts for various phases.

In this online self-paced course, Boo Schexnayder details the process of planning and writing weight training workouts for speed and power sports. This course is applicable to all Olympic and team sports that are speed- and power-based.
Advanced Weight Training Design covers how to adjust programming as athletes move from developmental to elite levels, and shows how to arrange training phases, write workouts for each phase, and manage in-season weight training, with extra attention to team sport needs.
Designed for coaches, athletes, fitness enthusiasts, physical therapists, and athletic trainers, this course provides a comprehensive roadmap to unlock explosive speed and power gains. It’s also the best study guide for the USTFCCCA Strength and Conditioning course.
Please note that this course differs from 101. Weight Training for Speed, Power and Sports Performance in that it covers long-term planning and workout writing in complete, high-level detail, and no technical issues are addressed. We suggest taking 101. Weight Training for Speed, Power and Sports Performance before taking this course for explanations on the types of strength and lifts, teaching progressions, and specific technique pointers.This course features archived video content that can now only be found here in this course, while the study notes and knowledge retention checks are new materials that are unique to this course.
