In this episode of Alpha Radio, coaches Izzy, George, and Tats dive deep into the effectiveness and timing of singles in training. They break down why singles aren’t just for peaking before competitions and how they can be a valuable year-round tool for building confidence, gauging daily capacity, and setting back-off work intensities.
The discussion covers strategic weight selection, avoiding the trap of maxing out, and maintaining technique under fatigue. The coaches also explore how stress and emotional factors impact training, the importance of balancing intensity and volume, and the pitfalls of chasing specific numbers.
Whether you're an athlete or coach, this episode will help you rethink how you approach heavy singles in your training program.
