chilledbear 16 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 There seems to be different attitude since McCall and Black arrived. http://willievass.photoshelter.com/gallery/270315-Rangers-training/G0000Fc0hVL71OeI/C0000ULY86euRIRg 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laudbertz 0 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 There seems to be different attitude since McCall and Black arrived. http://willievass.photoshelter.com/gallery/270315-Rangers-training/G0000Fc0hVL71OeI/C0000ULY86euRIRg They were smilining an all that in training before McCall arrived...and it bugged the hell outta me cause it just looked like they didnt give a crap about what was happening. Now, I would hope that the feel good factor is in a different way and that they are smiling with an air of confidence and performances grow. Also, pic number 12, looks like Jig is ripping one. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trublusince1982 243 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 would like to see a couple where they are busting a gut and sweating buckets rather than having a chuckle 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 No doubt the players need to get fitter but at this stage of the year you need to be careful players don't start running on empty especially with play offs coming. But whoever is in charge in the summer needs to get this group a strong pre season 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,286 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Normally i would agree with you Gribs but these players done nothing for about 6 months so no chance of a burn-out While that is true, fitness levels can only give you so much in the now and here, as a fellow Gersnet'ter pointed out a few days past (sorry, did not C&P the name at the time) The general rule of thumb for fitness experts is that your fitness is highly related to your training stresses in the last 6 weeks. Your fatigue is related to your training stress in the last week. Your form is a function of both. Therefore, fatigue increases and disipates 6 times faster than fitness. So interestingly, that means if you have trained hard (and clever) for 6 weeks, you can dramatically increase your form merely by having a week off! Your fitness will go down slightly but your fatigue will go down hugely. It's actually better to do a bit of active rest with recovery training. This is used a lot in more fitness dependent sports for tapering for big events. It also gives data to calculate training periodisation and helps to prevent over-training. Of course the 6 weeks rule is dependent on your base fitness on day 1 and there are many long term dependencies with years of constant training required to be at the top of your fitness potential. The six weeks and one week obviously aren't one size fits all but it's where most people start and then tweak it to what best fits their physiology. This stuff is used a lot in cycling - which is fairly unique in that training stresses can be reasonably accurately calculated using a power meter and heart rate monitor. So in conclusion, you can't get that much fitter in a week without being massively fatigued, which will dramatically affect your form. I would say you need at least a month - 3 build weeks and a recovery week. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trublusince1982 243 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 you have to be over worked and fatigued before the above comes into play as you say. Lazy has a whole different set of rules.Sometimes you need to seperate the wheat from the chaff so it doesnt spoil the whole crop. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
