Optimal Weekly Schedule

[MarkAnderson]

Doug Asked:

Quick question. I'm a civil engineer in Nashville and I'm tweaking my training schedule a little bit. Which of the two scenarios would you recommend as being more effective and safer to build power and strength?



Scenario 1

MON - Hangboard AM / Campus Board @ Lunch

TUE - Rest

WED - Hangboard AM / Campus Board @ Lunch

THU - Rest

FRI - Hangboard AM / Campus Board @ Lunch

SAT - Rest



or



Scenario 2

MON - Campus Board @ Lunch

TUE - Hangboard AM

WED - Campus Board @ Lunch

THU - Hangboard AM

FRI - Campus Board @ Lunch

SAT - Hangboard AM



Really enjoyed y'alls interview on TrainingBeta.



Thanks,



Doug

I wouldn't recommend either. That is way too much volume IMO. How long are these training sessions? I take two complete rest days (70 hours) after either a HB or Campus session. Granted my sessions are fairly long (~2 hrs if you include warmup and Supplemental Exercises). Still, you're resting a few hours between sessions.

That said, I would expect to get injured more quickly following Scenario 2.
