The Ancient Greek organized their strength training using a very specific system.
Athletes and soldiers from ancient Sparta, Athens and the other city states used something called the ‘Tetrad system’ to organize their training.
It consisted of the following four-day cycle:
-Day 1: workout with short, explosive movements.
-Day 2: an all-out, rigorous workout
-Day 3: relaxation and light activity
-Day 4: medium intensity workout
focusing on specific skills
This four day workout split was repeated constantly, broken up with an extra rest day if needed.
This is the SAME four day system I use in my 70 Days in Sparta workout program - based off real Spartan methods like this.
