Still doing Regionals prep program instead of off season?

I know I need to do more strength accessory work, but I can’t seem to fit it in. This Toomey me 3 hours already and now I need to go to work. Should I make some of it up on Thursday’s?
Why is it taking three hours?
Umm, I’m slow? Just one session
Can you you not split this into two?
No. My kids get to train twice a day so I don’t. Usually I have either 9:45-1ish or 9-12:30. On tuesdays/thursdays I can go earlier. The gym usually opens at 9 but I think some of the coaches have been getting there earlier. M, W, F my kids practice 7:30-9:30am so I go over after and try to get back to work about an hour before their second practice to prepare for the day and be available when they get out of school. When I’m done at night (7:30) the gym is closed usually.
Got it. In that case maybe add some accessory work on Thursday but it really depends how you’re feeling. Sometimes it’s more productive to rest
Ok. Thanks Tino
