TBH Episode 43: Balancing Act: Understanding Intensity Levels in Training

from Triple Block Heads

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of “Triple Block Heads,” Makani, Marc, and Frank discuss structuring volleyball training intensity using a red/yellow/green practice model to manage load, reduce injury risk, and peak late in the season. Marc explains that after an off day, practices should start at “yellow” rather than going hard, then cycle intensity through the week (including game-week adjustments), with “green” days targeting about 110% of match output. They describe measuring intensity using wearable tech (e.g., Catapult) and emphasize practice duration as a reliable lever to control output, alongside considerations like jump totals and drill selection. For clubs with limited practices and athletes with other sports, they stress communicating about fatigue, being intentional with jump allocation, adapting plans on the fly, and reflecting on practice structure and flow.Instagram - @tripleblockheadsX - @tripleblockheadThreads - tripleblockheadsFacebook - Triple Block HeadsYoutube - @TripleBlockHeads

The Rifleman Rifleman "A Rifleman never stops learning, a Rifleman never stops teaching. A Rifleman continuously seeks ways to to protect the freedoms and liberties the Founding Fathers left us, to improve himself, his home, his family, his community, his state and his nation, everyday of his life. A Rifleman adapts, a Rifleman overcomes and a Rifleman persists. This is not just some fancy gilded rhetoric we throw around like popcorn and pennies. This is the code we live by here. There is nothing wrong, no matter how often the mass of talking heads tells you it is wrong, or outdated, or corny, stupid and cavemanish, with having a code to live by in your life.
