RM denotes a repetition maximum, i.e. a weight should be selected for which no more than the prescribed number of reps can possibly be completed (with good form and technique), if the rep range is reached with ease, select a heavier weight.

P₌_{Power Exercise, these exercises should only be performed once technique guidance has been given} by a suitable qualified person (e.g. a biokineticist) to ensure proper technique. Power exercises should be performed with 30-60% of 1RM and with maximal velocity.

Each exercise which requires gym based equipment to be used has an alternative exercise (no gym alternative) for those players without gym equipment.

BW* denotes a body weight exercise; once players become strong enough to complete more than 12 reps they may add weight to their bodies to make the exercise more challenging.

**Due to greater difficulty with variation of load, players using buddy resisted exercises should perform as many reps as possible and only use the specified rep range as a guide where variable resistance is possible.

*** When no training partner is available, perform the no partner alternative workouts outlined in the Beginner cycle 1 of the off-season period.
