Werner Gunthor's Trianing Program

Intensity:	Phase 2 to 5
I turned the intensity around, my first week is a very light week and every week I train harder, the third week is the hardest.
I find it much easier to set goals and motivate myself this way. It might me totally against the philosophy of this program.
Peak:
According to the program one should be at a peak two weeks after completion of the program
Competition phase starts at the beginning of phase 5 or even phase 4. During peak time they also do
Statodynamical gym work
Comments:
Please note this program is that of a very well trained individual, to try and duplicate what Gunthor
did might lead to injuries and overtraining. It is more important to look at the principles of the
program, than the volume. Note the change of stimuli every 3 weeks and the systematic preparation.
His other than gym training is also difficult to fully understand if it is studied only from written info.
If anything is still unclear I will try and explain it as best I can, mail me at cbooysen@debeers.co.za or cor_booysen@hotmail.com
Many thanks to Dr. Carel le Roux who gave this program to me, after various visits and training sessions with
Werner Gunthor and his coach Jean-Pierre Egger
