The document provides guidance on implementing a lacrosse team strength training program using supersets and rotation groups. Key points include: - Organizing players into groups of 4 that rotate through primary lifts, supplemental lifts, and core exercises in a superset format over 3 minutes. - Emphasizing proper form training for the first 2-3 weeks using only bodyweight and bars before implementing the full program. - Testing players' 1-rep maxes on core lifts to group players by strength and calculate training weights. - Structuring a 4-day per week sample program that combines lifting, agility, speed, and stretching work.

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Laxicon’s Lacrosse Workouts. The workouts detailed
out in this manual will take your team to the next level in strength, agility and
speed. These workouts are designed specifically to:
• Minimize your workout time while maximizing the benefit
• Use a minimal amount of equipment (bars, plates and body weight)
• Be managed by only one coach with the use of a whistle.
• Produce results in terms of strength gained.
• Build complete athletes (speed, strength, power and explosiveness.
How to use the workouts
Teach basic form using the bar and minimal weight.
The first thing you need to do is to teach players the correct form as well as how
to properly spot another player in their form. I have seen many programs who
just put kids in the weight room and say “bench press 3 sets of 8-10 reps each”
and give them little to no instruction about proper form, proper weight targets, and
how to spot someone to ensure safety and maximal effort. Implementing a proper
lifting training program that happens soon after your season ends is critical to
putting your players on the right track to succeed.
For lacrosse players, we are talking mid-late August for getting started on this
program, and the first 2-3 weeks are used to teach proper form using the bar and
body weight, no other weight or resistance is necessary. 8 weeks prior to the
start of the season we will continue to use this program, however, we will modify it
to incorporate more agility and speed work while maintaining strength.
Teaching perfect form and getting your leaders identified who will assist the coach
by encouraging and pushing the others to excel will ensure that your team gets
the maximum benefit out of the time they are investing. This is also a great time
to teach weight room protocols and the superset system so that they are prepared
for the rigor of the program and can execute it efficiently so you and they can get
done quickly.
Put your players in groups of 4. For the first 2-3 weeks it does not matter who
they are lifting with because we are working only on form and getting the lifting
program installed. Letting them choose during this period helps encourage them
to come to the weight room and get focused on the year ahead.

Teaching proper form
It is absolutely critical that players are taught proper form and held accountable to
it. Without proper form your players will not make the gains they are looking for
and more importantly, they could possibly incur injuries that are more severe than
simply pulling a muscle. You must ensure that all of your players have a current
sports physical and that they have notified their doctor of their intent to weight
train so that the doctor can provide them with proper guidance specific to their
individual needs.
The Superset Rotation System
Using supersets enables us to be efficient with our time in the weight room. If
your team is has limited access to weight room time and sophisticated weight
room equipment, then you will find this program to be perfect for your team. The
superset system is broken down into sets and rotations. The procedure is as
follows:
• The supervising coach (there only has to be one) will blow a whistle to
start the first rotation of the set. Players have 30 seconds to complete their
lift. Players are in groups of 4 with based on their 1 rep max, 3 players are
working while one person is spotting/resting.
• Player 1 will begin on the primary exercise for his group (example: Deadlift).
• Player 2 will perform a supplemental lift for the opposing muscle group
(Example: dips). This allows the primary muscle group to recover while working
on opposing muscles.
• Player 3 will perform a core/balance exercise (Example: leg lift)
• Player 4 will spot player 1 on the primary exercise (and it gives this player time
to rest and think about what he needs to do to switch weight as well).
• The coach then blows his whistle again. Players have 30 seconds to rotate
and change weight as necessary.
• Player 1 will move to and execute the supplemental lift (dips).
• Player 2 will now perform core/balance exercise (leg lift)
• Player 3 will spot the primary exercise.
• Player 4 will now perform the primary exercise (Deadlift)
(see diagram on page X)

• The coach then blows his whistle again. Players have 30 seconds to rotate
and change weight as necessary.
• Player 1 will move to and perform core/balance exercise (leg lift)
• Player 2 will now spot the primary lift.
• Player 3 will move to the primary lift (Deadlift)
• Player 4 will now move to the opposing lift (dips).
• The coach blows his whistle again. Players have 30 seconds to rotate to the
next station and change weights as necessary.
• Player 1 will now move to spot the primary lift
• Player 2 will now move to the primary lift (Deadlift)
• Player 3 will not move to the opposing lift (dips)
• Player 4 will now move to the core/balance lift (leg lifts)
Once every lifter in the group has completed each exercise, players rotate back to
their starting positions, Player 1 adds weight to his next attempt and we repeat the
process for set 2 and set 3. Notice that one complete set takes only 3 minutes
and 30 seconds. If you take an additional 60 seconds to move players to the next
exercise rotation we are looking at only 18 total minutes for the entire workout.
There are many hardcore old school coaches who do not believe that a complete
workout can take less than 45 minutes but research is proving them wrong. If
these exercises are executed with good technique using weight on the primary
lifts that challenges them, then they will see gains in muscle mass and strength
equal to and beyond other programs that keep players in the gym for an hour or
more.
Keep your players on the clock and do not allow them to start early or late. If they
do not follow directions make up a consequence for that because it is important
that all players stay in sequence.
Drill this sequencing with bar and body weight for at least 2 weeks. Really work
on them perfecting their form. Use video or pictures to spot them while they are
doing the primary lifts and show them where they need to improve. Coaches Eye
App is a great app to use for taking video of them lifting and then showing them
what they need to do to improve with frame by frame playback which is very
helpful.
Once you are comfortable with your players’ form, take the 3rd week to get your
players’ 1 rep maximum.

9. copyright 2015 laxicon.org page:7
Time to max-out your players!
Now that your players’ form is looking good, you need to get their 1 repetition
maximum, or 1-rep max on the primary lifts of bench press, squat, deadlift and
power cleans.
The Laxicon workouts are based upon getting a good 1RM and therefore this is
an important exercise that needs to be done correctly and for every player in your
program. Without the 1RM your players will not have a baseline for where they
started and will not see the gains we are looking for as quickly as we need to see
them.
The 1RM is also important because it will be used to group your players during
workouts. By grouping them based on comparable strength you save a ton of
time when it comes to switching weights. I have seen players take 1-2 minutes
just to switch plates on a deadlift and this throws off the timing of everyone in the
group so you must have players who are comparable in strength so there is
minimal plate switching.
During this week, we also test the 40 yard dash, pro-agility drill, broad jump and
vertical jump because these are all things that are going to improve over time and
are important measurements of speed and explosiveness that we desire in all of
our lacrosse athletes.

10. copyright 2015 laxicon.org page:8
Max Week!
You need to build up this week for your players because you want to get their best
on each lift so that they get a good baseline for growth. Make it a competition,
provide incentives for them to ensure they put forth the effort. Do whatever it
takes to ensure that they give their best because these maximums are important.
Ensure that players are properly warmed up and prepared for the exertion that
comes with a 1RM and enlist the help of other coaches in your program or other
qualified sports professionals to assist you with this if you can. I would encourage
you to ensure that a qualified coach is present for all 1RM attempts for two
reasons. 1. Players will want to give 100% because a coach is present and
watching, and 2. Safety is important and spotters need to be monitored to ensure
they are paying attention and properly spotting.
The following schedule should be used for getting the 1RM’s completed:
Monday: Squat
Tuesday: Bench
Wednesday: Time 40-yard dash and pro agility drill (2 times, take best time).
Measure Broad Jump and Vertical Jump (twice each, take best jump).
Thursday: Power Clean
Friday: Deadlift
It may seem like a lot of time to allocate for a 1RM on each of the primary lifts, but
it is not. Each player needs to properly warm up and get mentally ready for the
exercise as well.
The first thing all players should do is put a weight on the ball that they think is
70% of what they believe to be their 1RM max. Players will have a ballpark idea
of what this is and for the purposes of warm up that will be good enough. Once
they determine what the weight is, they should do 10 good form repetitions of the
exercise to do the initial warm up of their muscles.

11. copyright 2015 laxicon.org page:9
After the initial warm up they should rest for 2 minutes then add weight that brings
them to 80% of their projected 1RM and do 3-4 reps of that weight.
After the second set above, they have 2 options. 1. They can continue to add
weight going up another 5-10% each time until they can only do 1 rep ensuring
that they rest 2-3 minutes between sets, or 2. They can attempt to calculate what
the 1RM is using an online app such as the one at exrx.net
(http://www.exrx.net/Calculators/OneRepMax.html) or using an app from either
the Apple or Android app stores. These apps have scientific formula’s in them
that predict what your 1RM will be based on what your max repetitions are at a
lower weight.
For example, say a player does 185 lbs 3 times and cannot do a 4th. He will
know that he cannot do a 4th based on the performance of his 3rd rep, he should
not attempt the 4th. Inside these apps they ask you how much he lifted and how
many reps he did. In this case the apps I have tested average predicting that he
will max out at 200 lbs. So, you will have the player wait 6 minutes then attempt
to do 200 lbs 1 time.
If he easily does the 200 lbs (not likely), then he adds weight 5 lbs at a time until
he cannot do 1 rep (with 5-6 minute rest in between each set). If he cannot do 200
but is close you mark him down as 195 and record his max with a note on his
chart outlining the circumstances.
It is an inexact science to be sure, but if you follow the procedure above you will
get your players very close to their actual 1RM and that will ensure that we have
players starting at weights that will challenge them to grow and that is our aim.

12. copyright 2015 laxicon.org page:10
Time to get players into groups
This is a really important step because unless players are working with a group
that is comparable in strength, they won’t feel compelled to work harder to get
better. Boys like to compete and by putting them into groups where they know
they have a chance to compete, they will rise to the occasion and make the gains
your program needs them to make. One of the great things about the way our
system is set up is that players with similar strength will not usually dominate in all
areas. One player in the group will be the bench press king while another
specializes in squats. All of them will help each other based on their areas of
strength and the team benefits as a whole.
How to put your players in groups
1. Rank all of your players based on their max squat.
2. Players ranked 1-4 are in group 1
3. Players ranked 5-8 are in group 2
4. Continue this process until all players are in a group.
The reason we are using the Squat is because you will find that this is the
exercise where players will lift the heavier weights and weight switches between
players will need to get our weight switches done as quickly as possible.
Alternative approach: If you want to speed things up even further, have all players
in that group use the weight of the strongest player for their reps, by doing this
you reduce the amount of reps of the weaker players, however, you also get them
working hard to achieve the higher weight. Be careful with this approach because
some players may use it as an excuse why they aren’t making gains so you will
need to ensure you monitor the primary lifts closely.
Starting weight calculation
Players only need to know their starting percentage on the first set, every
increase from there will go by 5 and 10 pound increments.
To calculate the starting weight, players use their 1RM and the percentage chart
in this manual on page XX. You should laminate and hang this chart at each
station for their reference (or have them use the calculator on their phones). I
have also include a bar loading chart to help players figure out what plates to put
on the bar. You would be amazed at how long this takes them, especially
freshmen!

How much weight to add set to set.
The main way to build strength over time is to increase the resistance which
breaks down muscle fibers and causes them to have to repair themselves. When
they repair themselves they have a self protection mechanism that tells them to
repair back stronger and grow. As long as players are adding weight and pushing
themselves their muscles will grow. Players need to add weight both during their
workouts and over time therefore we need to give them some guidance as to how
to do this.
Our general rule of thumb is as follows: If the first set was hard to reach 10 reps or
they could not reach 10 reps, then they only add 5 lbs total to the bar (2.5 on each
side) If they were easily able to reach the 10 reps then they add 5 lbs to each
side of the bar (10 lbs total added).
If a player found that his starting weight didn’t allow him to get to the 10 reps that
doesn’t mean that he should start lower during his next workout, however, he
should stay at that starting weight until he is able to get the 10 reps, once he has
achieved that, he needs to increase his starting weight during the next workout.
If a player found that his starting weight easily allowed him to get 10 reps and he
goes up 10 lbs and can barely get 6 or 7 reps, then he needs to increase his
starting weight by 5 lbs next time he lifts that primary exercise and see how that
goes. If his second set with the additional 10 lbs allows him to do 9 or 10 reps
then that will become his starting weight during the next workout at that exercise.
Coaches should not complicate this process. There are a ton of complex workout
programs on the market and all claim to help players grow stronger faster and
with less work, don’t believe them! What it takes to get stronger is simple,
increase your load each week, add weight every set and players will see gains.
Don’t let them brood over a bad day on the bench, it happens to everyone at one
point or the other. The key is to keep adding weight and ensure that the last set is
a strain. Players who can hold a conversation during their sets are probably not
working hard enough.
What to do if players are absent from a group.
I can guarantee that this will happen everyday and you need to prepare your
players for how to deal with it.
Your first option is to act as if the player is there and essentially have the other
players fill the spots as if he was in his position doing his exercise. The only
problem with this is that you as the coach will need to spot or find someone who
can.

17. copyright 2015 laxicon.org page:15
Your second option is to take your attendance roster, which is sorted by max
squat weight, and line through all of the players who are missing and go through
the grouping drill you did after the 1RM’s were taken. It actually does not take
very long once you have taken attendance (which I recommend so that you know
who was at training and who was not for safety and reference later as needed),
and it ensures trained spotters are in place for all primary lifts and it allows players
to get to know someone else on their team who they may not normally associate
with for one reason or the other. I prefer this method to the first method, but either
will work.
Importance of completing reps
It is important that players strive to complete all of the 10 reps that are in the
program. There is nothing particularly magic about 10 reps and you will find
plenty of “experts” who will tell you it is too many and others who will advocate
more. That said, it is mostly important because it is the standard they are working
to. To allow them to do less because they aren’t “feelin it” today implies that it
isn’t important that they meet the standard and that can seep into their attitude
about everything you put into your program.
If players are truly having a bad day, just have them reduce to a weight that they
can manage to get the rep count with and stay at that weight for all 3 sets. The
next workout they can pick it back up. Monitor their progress on the workout
sheets provided with this program, keep a portable file system with you for them to
refile their workout cards in and look at what they are recording each day. Talk to
players who are having a hard time making gains and find out what they are doing
outside of the workouts to support their growth. Are they getting enough rest (8
hours a night), are they eating enough protein (1 gram per pound of bodyweight
daily), are they drinking enough water. All of these things will impact their ability
to take advantage of the effort they are expending in the weight room and you
need to help them navigate the waters so they don’t lose faith in the system.
This system once implemented in the first few weeks of the off season. Will reap
tremendous benefits for your program and it can successfully be run by one coach
per workout. I have done it with over 50 players at a time and it is manageable.
Obviously it would be great to have more coaches but the purpose of this workout
being structured as it is is for you to be able to execute it with minimal equipment,
time and coaches. We have enough to do to get ready for the season, and while
weight training is important, it isn’t rocket science.

Appendix B-Agility Workout
All agility drills should be completed after a thorough warmup using the dynamic
warmup in Appendix A. Using that warmup routine has virtually eliminated pulled
muscled and strained muscle from our program.
4-cone drill (10 yard squares)

Mirror drill
• Setup two adjacent 10 yard squares.
• Have one player be the leader and the other be the follower.
• The leader moves between cones using the moves from the 4-cone drill
(forward run, shuffle, backpedal, diagonal cross)
• The follower mirrors his moves reacting to each one as quickly as possible.
• Leaders make 5 moves then switch to the follower leading with his 5 moves, or
you can do it based on a clock time.

Appendix C-Speed Workout
We realize that there are many different speed programs, however, this manual is
for the coach with few resources and not a lot of workout time so please keep that
in mind. Our speed workout is fairly simple but effective when executed properly.
Rest intervals are critical and need to be monitored by the coach. I have seen
coaches who feel that running players in succession as soon as the previous set
is complete without proper rest is acceptable and it is not. Just like our lifting
program, we have incorporated ways for your players to recover between sets by
adding a simple guideline to follow and you need to ensure this is followed.
Warmup
Follow the complete warmup in Appendix A. Once players have gone through the
routine a few times it takes only 10 minutes to execute properly and players are
ready to go.
Speed Progression
1. Jog 25 yards-stride 25 yards-sprint 25 yards-walk 25 yards. The walking
provides the rest required for this exercise. Do 8 of these.
2. Sprint 4 split 80’s. In other words, have players sprint 40 yards out and back
for a total of 80 yards, then have them rest 2 minutes in between.
3. Sprint 45 straight 80’s. Run 80 yard sprints with 2 minutes in between.
Total sprint distance run: 840 yards. This is plenty of sprint work. We know many
who do a ton more with much less rest,,, they are burning their kids out and in
many cases, overtraining them. I had one player, a girl, who ran track during
lacrosse season because we had late lacrosse practice and she thought she
could do it. End result, she got slower and developed painful shin splints by her
senior year. What we have outlined above is a derivative of a program that Billy
Corbet C.S.C.S. taught at the 2006 National Convention and which we feel is still
relevant today. Billy advocated no more than 550 yards of sprinting in one
workout but we have found the program above to be effective at helping athletes
build speed and power.
During warmup runs, pay specific attention to your players’ form. We always
remind them to swing their arms “hip pocket to eye socket” and not across their
bodies. We also stress picking their knees up to their chest and keeping their
toes up when striking the ground and pushing the ground away behind them.
There are a shocking number of players whose form is holding them back and you
need to remind them constantly, both verbally and using video if you have access
to it.

How to use this manual
The following pages are the sheets you will use to run your workouts that are
outlined in the Laxicon Lacrosse Workout Program. These sheets can be
referenced by any coach in your program by any means they prefer (digital or
paper) and they can show up in your place at the workout facility/room and run
the workout using the script on the following pages based on the week and day
they are in. We do not advocate additional training on weekends during the off
season because we feel these are essential for recovery and repair therefore all
weeks are based on a 5-day week.
We have marked every page with the week and day of the week (example: week
1, day 3) and inserted sheets for days in the 5-day work week that are not worked
so that you and your coaches can keep track of which day you are referencing.
You will need to mark which week is your starting week and from there a simple
calendar reference will be sufficient for any coach in your program to know what
needs to be done. There are 25 weeks shown but your quantity may vary
depending on your start date.
We suggest that you have your coaches available as often as possible in the first
couple weeks to see how you would like to have the exercises completed,
however, if you cannot, we have included an online database of very short videos
to show how each exercise is to be completed and the primary coaching points
that should be stressed in each one. You can add your own particular notes as
necessary (we all have our own little details to add!).
Some weeks have been shown as “off” weeks and this is both on purpose and for
convenience. For example; if your program is like most that we have seen,
getting players to show up on holidays is spotty at best therefore we take the
week of Thanksgiving off as well as the week of Christmas. Taking a week off at
these intervals isn’t ideal, however, taking a week off in general from weight
training has been shown in many studies to stimulate growth by allowing more
time for repair. Extended time off is not preferred however, a week here and
there is healthy both physically and mentally and improves your relationship with
your players’ parents as well (a vital concern!). If the weeks shown in the
following pages do not perfectly align with the calendar year in which you start
this program, just pull up or push back a week depending on where you week
starts and you will be good to go.
As stated in the manual, if you need assistance please contact us at
support@laxicon.org and we will be happy to assist you with your questions.
