training and lost all the gains.
• Lost weight for a wedding or big event only to gain
it back when the event was over.

Do Now:
• Jeremiah has hit a plateau in his
training to improve upper body
strength. To overcome the
plateau he decides to use muscle
confusion by using a variety of
hand positions on his push-ups,
changing up his sets and reps on
bench press and using free
weights in addition to his usual
machine exercises for deltoids
and triceps.
By making these adjustments
Jeremiah is showing a good
understanding of which SPORT
training principle?
CLO
I will verbally critique a
partner’s diving technique by
giving 1 piece of positive
feedback and 1 piece of
constructive feedback.
Agenda
1. Warm-up- Amisadai
2. Side stroke technique- Alonso
3. Play Baseball

14. Answers 4/10/13
Overload is the best answer because all of the
changes Jeremiah made will effect his exercise
intensity.
 Specificity is incorrect because he was already
using it before he made the changes.
 Progression is not the best answer because there
are no numbers given for how he is increasing his
sets, reps and weight.
 Reversibility is incorrect because he hit a plateau
but never regressed.
 Tedium is not the best answer because we are not
given his workout routine and the changes made
are better examples of Overload.
