Workouts 04 March – 24 March

Week 3 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 19th Feb – 24th Feb

Week 6 Cycle 28

For the following 6 weeks we will be utilizing accommodating resistance as a new training strategy. Essentially this is using special means to accommodate resistance throughout the entire range of motion rather than a specific point. Because of some joint angles and the velocity of movement, the force of the movement is less at certain joint angles.

In practical terms for us, bands can train you to break through certain sticking points during a lift.

 

There will be a double conditioning piece one day per week with a longer 15min piece also once per week.

 

BB Complexes are back, the strategy for this will be that in the first session you do it, you start at 5 reps per exercise and at every subsequent session you add one rep per exercise.

 

Our new benches will be getting their maiden voyage throughout this cycle too which will add nice new variety to our training.

Week 1 Cycle 28 – 15th Jan – 20th Jan

Week 1 Cycle 28

For the following 6 weeks we will be utilizing accommodating resistance as a new training strategy. Essentially this is using special means to accommodate resistance throughout the entire range of motion rather than a specific point. Because of some joint angles and the velocity of movement, the force of the movement is less at certain joint angles.

In practical terms for us, bands can train you to break through certain sticking points during a lift.

 

There will be a double conditioning piece one day per week with a longer 15min piece also once per week.

 

BB Complexes are back, the strategy for this will be that in the first session you do it, you start at 5 reps per exercise and at every subsequent session you add one rep per exercise.

 

Our new benches will be getting their maiden voyage throughout this cycle too which will add nice new variety to our training.
