【力量訓練的「訓練量」該如何設定？】

跑者的訓練量俗稱「跑量」，單位是「公里」，所以月跑量三百是指一個月總訓練距離300公里。在力量訓練圈的「訓練量」（Training Volume）常是「總反覆次數」 （Total Repetition）的同義詞；而「月總量」就是指一個月的總反覆次數，像我們會建議初跑者的月跑量最好不要超過100公里一樣，在做重訓時，有沒有一個區間可以讓大家參考呢？下面是《The System》的作者群建議：

#以下為譯文：
以剛接觸訓練的新手來說，月總量最好從750次（總反覆次數）開始；而菁英運動員的上限設在1,600次。在前蘇聯時代，我們親眼看到他們運動員以更高的月總量進行訓練。然而，我們後來也發現這跟他們使用加強運動表現的補給品有關，那使運動員能更快恢復。

總反覆次數是指在單一個週期中（這裡是指中週期）所有基本力量動作重複次數的總合。因此總反覆次數750的意思是在不同的訓練強度與動作中總共累計的次數，但這個數字不包括輔助訓練的動作。

從帳面上來看，750這個數字分配到一個月十二到十六次課表當中，看起來似乎很小，但我們這們所定的750這個數字比較像是「基本量」，而非下限，如果總反覆次數低於750下，就不會為運動員的成長帶來實質的影響。表 4.14 中的數值並不是意味著高水平或菁英運動員在四週內的總反覆次數永遠不會有低於1,000次情況發生，那只是維持成長的基本量。對運動員的恢復能力影響最大的是訓練量，因此這些範圍中比較需要注意的是上限的數值。若月總量超過上限值，恢復能力將快速到受到侵害，而且侵害的速度比任何其他因素都快。

一位菁英水準的運動員可以在一個月的時間裡完成1,000次以下的訓練，就算在恢復期也經常發生。然而，訓練新手若超過1,000次的上限，大都要承擔受傷或嚴重過度訓練的風險。

許多教練擔心他們的運動員練不夠，所以無法有效獲得力量和爆發力的進步。他們不想因為目標定得太低而有所保留，這讓他們感覺是「浪費」了一個月的訓練時間。剛開始採用這個方法來訓練時有這種感覺很自然，我們系統中的每一位教練也都曾經歷過相同的掙扎。

美國的力量教練已經把「訓練要用盡全力」當作一種信念，訓練完還有餘力好像就會覺得不夠認真。但請相信我們。我們說的方法很少失敗，也幾乎沒有過度訓練的風險，這些區間已被證明能最有效地幫助運動員進步。

在調整運動員的訓練量時，需要考慮到他們的技巧、經驗、過去的醫療史、訓練史、性別、實際年齡與訓練年齡。

我們過去的慘痛教訓可以讓你少走許多彎路。當你在訓練量的拿捏上猶豫不決時，原則是寧少勿多。寧可因量太少沒進步，也不要犯下過量訓練的錯誤。

總訓練量不包括輔助訓練或是特別針對「局部效果」的練習次數。那些動作主要是為了強化特定肌肉或是使全身力量動作能做得更好的輔助性訓練，所以我們不會把它們算在總訓練量中。
最受我們重視的力量訓練動作不只對身體的負擔很大，技術要求也很高；正因如此，我們才會嚴格限制訓練量。

雖然輔助訓練不會被計算在總訓練量裡，但你不要因此失控，開始加練很多你想練的輔助動作。永遠記住：效率第一。

#原文如下
The absolute floor of volume for a novice athlete is 750 total exercise repetitions per month, and the ceiling for the elite athlete is 1,600 total reps. During our time in the former Soviet Republics, we witnessed athletes performing even higher monthly training volumes. However, as we found later, that was often with the benefit of performance-enhancing substances that allowed for more rapid recovery.

In a single cycle, the total number of repetitions pertains to all exercises performed in the key movements. This means 750 total repetitions are spread between the different exercises among the range of training intensities we want to emphasize.

On the surface, these can seem like small numbers when we consider they may be spread out over 12 to 16 training sessions. That 750-rep total is really more like the basement rather than the floor of total volume—any less than 750 will not budge the needle on gains. That does not mean advanced or elite-level athletes will not have cycles that dip below 1,000 reps. These ranges should be more prescriptive of the ceiling of higher volumes to avoid exceeding. Pushing monthly volume beyond these ranges erodes recovery more rapidly than any other factor.

An elite-level athlete can use a month with a total volume of under 1,000 reps, as will often be the case when returning to training. However, a novice athlete can rarely exceed the 1,000-rep ceiling without risking an injury or a significant overtraining effect.

Many coaches worry their athletes will not do enough work to promote gains in strength and power. They do not want to “waste” a month by aiming too low on total volume and leaving some gains in the tank. That is a natural feeling when adopting this method, and each of us went through the same mental struggle.

Strength coaches in America are not hard-wired to accept less than maximum. However, trust us when we say that without fail, these ranges have proven to be the most effective in generating progress with almost no risk of overtraining.

Fine-tuning where your athletes fall in a volume range takes skill, experience, and consideration of their medical and training history, biological and training age, and gender.
The bloody trail of our mistakes can save you a lot of added stress: When in doubt, it is always better to err on the side of less volume than too much.

The total volume number does not include accessory work or exercises of “local effect.” Those exercises are more targeted muscle strengthening or exercises to support the main movements.

We are mainly concerned about the most physically taxing exercises that demand more of an athlete’s attention to technique—hence, the volume restrictions.

Although the accessory work is not included in the volume calculations, you still cannot go wild, adding as much as you want. Always remember this: efficiency first.

【奧林匹克式舉重動作不能捨棄的理由】

分享《The System: Soviet Periodization Adapted for the American Strength Coach》書中對奧林匹克式舉重的看法。該書的作者們並沒有否定專項訓練的重要性，但強調現階段(美國許多力量教練)用其他動作「取代」奧林匹克式舉重是不智的作法，主要的理由是上膊和抓舉能訓練到「大範圍動作」與「全身性」的「爆發力」與「速度」。下面附上原文、我的譯文和懸垂式上膊的訓練側拍影片：

近年來，隨著人們越來越重視力量訓練中的安全性，以及所謂的「專項力量」訓練，奧林匹克式舉重動作已不再受到許多力量教練的青睞。主要的理由是，如果運動員不是要參加奧林匹克舉重比賽，有更好的爆發力訓練動作可以選，它們更容易轉化為運動賽場上的成績，而且這些動作不用移動那麼大的重量，所以對身體的壓力與風險會低很多。

為了甩開風險，有許多擲藥球或更有創意的動作已經在許多運動團隊的力量課表中取代上膊、抓舉、挺舉。在我們看來，這個鐘擺甩得太遠了，這些動作一直都能培養出世界上最強、最具爆發力運動員，現在卻要完全捨棄，實在太過極端。

我們要瞭解奧林匹克式舉重動作的主要目的是：通過「大範圍的動作」（特別是下肢）在全身產生最大的爆發力。

專攻奧林匹克式舉重選手和特別注重專項力量訓練的選手，這兩者的訓練課表，你最常發現的區別是：舉重選手是透過大範圍且快速的動作來訓練下肢；換言之，後者的動作幅度大都比較小。很多教練出於善意，使用了許多替代舉重的練習動作，但這些練習並沒有辦法達到舉重動作所需的柔韌性、協調性與力量輸出。

使用奧林匹克式舉重動作可以訓練到關節在較大彎屈幅度時的爆發力和穩定度，那也是身體在賽場上可能會碰到的幅度。(譯者註：當然對純跑者和泳者來說就並非如此了，不過自行車選手和大部分的球類運動相當符合)

一位運動員在進行完整的抓舉、挺舉時，如果進步太快或是沒有經過正確的指導再加上大重量，的確會導致受傷。但所有的訓練動作都是這樣，只要進階太快、操作不當或重量太重都會受傷，所以問題不在動作，而在於教練沒讓運動員準備好。

像美式足球或籃球這種運動的動作幅度很大，執行動作時需要高度的柔軟度與力量；在提升這些能力上，奧林匹克式舉重動作會比擲藥球的訓練更有效率。這些動作並不危險，只要你能先評估他們的身體是否有能力安全完成這些動作，事先對舉重動作進行規劃與指導，以及循序漸近地增加重量和動作難度，那麼很多顧慮都會消失。

當你能有效且適當地進行奧林匹克式舉重訓練，你會發現它的好處遠遠大於缺點。

(但作者也強調並不是每個人一開始都適合練奧林匹克式舉重動作)

一開始先別進行大量且高強度的奧林匹克式舉重訓練，最好先等到運動員們至少已經練了幾年之後才能大量的練。如果他們在早期要發展爆發力，可在運動員學習和改善舉重動作時先進行「跳躍」與「增強式訓練」。

無論什麼動作，練熟了動作的技術之後，接下來「速度」是第一位。雖然體育界很重視力量和肌肥大，但力量所表現出來的速度才是真正分出運動員實力差異的關鍵所在。

在健力（powerlifting）比賽中，動作的速度並不重要，目標是舉得更重，不管花多長時間，比賽結果只看重量。但在美式足球場上，最強壯的線鋒球員若不能迅速將力量轉化為控制對手防守球員的能力，他們就不能算是成功的進攻組球員。同理，一位能肩推數百磅重的鉛球選手，如果他不能用全身的力量來加速擲出鉛球，他也將無法把獎牌帶回家。

#原文如下
THE OLYMPIC LIFTING CONTROVERSY

In recent years with the increasing emphasis on safety in strength training and what is termed “sport specific” training, the Olympic lifts have fallen out of favor with many strength coaches. The argument is that if you are not competing in Olympic lifting, there are better options for training explosive strength that translate more readily to sports performance, without the risks and strain inherent in rapidly moving heavy weights.

Variations of medicine ball throws or more creative exercises have taken the place of cleans, snatches, and jerks in the strength programming of many teams as coaches try to reduce those risks. In our opinion, the pendulum has swung too far away from using the movements that have consistently produced the strongest and most explosive athletes in the world.
The main goal of the Olympic lifts is to generate maximal power and explosive strength in the entire body through large ranges of motion, particularly for the lower extremities.

The differences you will most often find between the training regimen of an Olympic weightlifter and of athletes performing more “sport specific” training are that weightlifters consistently take the lower extremities through high-speed, large range-of-motion exercises. Many of the substituted movements and exercises used by a well-intentioned strength coach do not come close to demanding and developing the flexibility, coordination, and force output demanded by the weightlifting exercises.

It is true that subjecting an athlete to a full snatch or jerk with a substantial amount of weight without the proper instruction or progression will often result in injury. However, that holds true for any exercise. It is not the fault of the exercise, but rather the coach’s fault for failing to prepare the athlete to succeed.

Dynamic sports like football or basketball require suppleness and strength expressed through large ranges of motion; the Olympic lifts are more effective at facilitating those qualities than a medicine ball toss. If you assess an athlete to be physically capable of performing the movements safely and if the lifts are programmed and coached effectively and progressed in both weight and complexity, many concerns diminish.

You will discover that when implemented effectively and appropriately, the benefits of the Olympic lifts far outweigh the drawbacks.

A significantly high volume of Olympic lifting is best left to the athletes with at least a few years of training under their belts. For developing athletes such as these, the power and explosive qualities can be addressed through jumping or plyometric training as the Olympic lifts are coached and refined over time.
After mastering technical efficiency and form, no matter what the movement, speed should always be the priority. Although strength and muscle hypertrophy are important in the world of sports, the rapid expression of that strength is what separates athletes on the field of play.

In the sport of powerlifting, the speed of the movement is not critical. The goal is to lift the maximum weight, however long it takes. On the football field, the strongest linemen will rarely succeed if they cannot rapidly translate that strength to control an oncoming defender. A shot putter who can military press hundreds of pounds will not take home a medal without the ability to explosively accelerate the entire body to throw the shot.

「寒流」英文怎麼說?

1. cold wave
2. cold snap
3. cold spell
4. cold surge
5. cold front
6. Korean current

到底哪一個才是正確的?

★★★★★★★★★★★★

1. cold wave 寒流；寒潮 ❄️

In meteorology, a cold wave (known in some regions as a cold snap or cold spell) is a weather phenomenon that is distinguished by a cooling of the air. Specifically, as used by the U.S. National Weather Service, a rapid fall in temperature within 24 hours to temperatures requiring substantially increased protection to agriculture, industry, commerce, and social activities. Therefore, the criterion for a cold wave is twofold: the rate of temperature fall, and the minimum to which it falls. The latter depends upon region and time of year.

寒流是一種天氣現象，特徵是空氣會冷卻。具體來說，如美國國家氣象局所述，溫度在24小時內迅速下降到致使必須大幅提高對農業，工業，商業和社會活動的保護。因此，寒流的定義標準是雙重的：溫度下降的速度和下降的最低溫度；下降的最低溫度則取決於地區和一年中的時間。

＊一般而言，寒潮是指一高氣壓在高緯生成，冷高壓向低緯侵襲，最後出海變性的冷空氣。在寒潮侵襲期間，冷空氣引起成當地氣溫驟降，地面氣壓驟升，有時更引起強風，大浪。

5. cold front 冷鋒 ❄️

the weather condition in which a moving mass of cold air pushes into a mass of warm air resulting in a fall in temperature

A cold front is the leading edge of a cooler mass of air at ground level that replaces a warmer mass of air and lies within a pronounced surface trough of low pressure.

冷鋒指的是正在移動的冷氣團主動向暖氣團推進，並取代暖氣團原有位置所形成的鋒，導致溫度下降。作為地面上較冷空氣團的前沿，它取代了較熱的空氣團並位於明顯的低壓槽。
