Workouts May 28 – June 2

Week 6 Cycle 30

 

This new 6 week cycle see the big compound lifts of the squat and deadlift being trained using a set and rep scheme of 5 x 5. The squat day will be preceded by an squat specific warm-up aimed at improving peoples over-head squat.

 

One of the days will see a longer 20 minute conditioning piece with another day having 2/3 shorter pieces. With the good weather (hopefully) approaching we will be aiming to get out for runs of some sort, be it hills or flat, twice per week.

 

We will continue to work on upper body body weight exercises such as the pull up/ chin up / ring dip and this cycle will see the introduction of the incline prone KB row to further improve variety in the pulling exercises.

 

We will be focusing on the incline BB Bench press as opposed to flat bench and ,of course, continually working on the Turkish Get Up along with various core rotational, anterior, posterior strength exercises.

Workouts April 9th- April 14th

 

Week 4 Cycle 29

This 6 week training block will involve training two of the conventional variations of basic compound lifts in one day. For example, training the front squat and the back squat in the same day. This will allow us keep on top of technique gains in all lifts while also allowing us build on what were some serious strength gains after our previous cycle of utilizing accommodating resistance with bands.

 

We will also have a day dedicated to solely to core development and conditioning. This will be a nice way to use lighter loads after days of high load and will somewhat allow your body to recuperate throughout the training week.

 

As always, warm-ups will involve mobility and activation pieces as standard to prepare you for the lifts ahead.

 

Looking forward to this one folks!

Workouts March 26th – March 31st

Week 4 Cycle 29

This 6 week training block will involve training two of the conventional variations of basic compound lifts in one day. For example, training the front squat and the back squat in the same day. This will allow us keep on top of technique gains in all lifts while also allowing us build on what were some serious strength gains after our previous cycle of utilizing accommodating resistance with bands.

 

We will also have a day dedicated to solely to core development and conditioning. This will be a nice way to use lighter loads after days of high load and will somewhat allow your body to recuperate throughout the training week.

 

As always, warm-ups will involve mobility and activation pieces as standard to prepare you for the lifts ahead.

 

Looking forward to this one folks!
