Workouts Oct 16th – Oct 21st

Week 3 Cycle 26

 

One of the main new changes we are making to this next 6 week training block is the addition of a totals day once a week. This is a power lifting comp style day whereby you will try and set a 3RM in your front squat and deadlift along with a 5RM in your floor press. Your combined weight lifted in those rep maxes will form your total for that week. The aim is to increase this total week on week.

 

We will also be using Every Min on the Min (EMOM) style training for a couple of big lifts, namely the back squat and split stance OH press. This will allow us build volume h=while also keeping the intensity of the lift fairly high.

 

We will also have sets to failure one day per week in RFESS, Chins and pushups which again will be another way of judging your progress week on week.

 

We will be having 1 day which will incorporate a long conditioning piece and 1 day which will have 2 short conditioning pieces. These will remain constant throughout the 6 weeks in order to see some progress.

 

Apart from that, as always we will train single leg , single arm, bodyweight, KB’s etc and just look to keep on improving.

Workouts Sept 18th – Sept 23rd

Week 6 Cycle 25

 

For this new 6 week cycle we will be alternating, week to week, between front squatting twice per week and deadlifting once per week OR Deadlifting twice per week and front squatting once per week. In this way, every 2 weeks members will have a chance to both squat and deadlift on 3 separate occassions. For both exercises, one of these sessions will be focused on going heavy, one will be lighter but utilizing different training techniques such as eccentric focused/ isometric work, and one day will be a combination of heavy and light in order to promote some increases in mass.

 

Two days of the week we will be doing an extended warm up allowing us to work on some extra plyometric training where the focus will be on moving more explosively. A barbell complex will be a mainstay for one of the days with the focus on being adding a small amount of weight to the bar each week.

 

Obviously, we will be keeping up our single leg/ single arm work with the RFESS being kept in the programme. As always plenty of effective core strengthening/stability exercises will be seen as well as much loved conditioning tools and hill runs.

 

After a satisfying test week we have a challenging but fun 6 weeks ahead!

For this new 6 week cycle we will be alternating, week to week, between front squatting twice per week and deadlifting once per week OR Deadlifting twice per week and front squatting once per week. In this way, every 2 weeks members will have a chance to both squat and deadlift on 3 separate occassions. For both exercises, one of these sessions will be focused on going heavy, one will be lighter but utilizing different training techniques such as eccentric focused/ isometric work, and one day will be a combination of heavy and light in order to promote some increases in mass.

 

Two days of the week we will be doing an extended warm up allowing us to work on some extra plyometric training where the focus will be on moving more explosively. A barbell complex will be a mainstay for one of the days with the focus on being adding a small amount of weight to the bar each week.

 

Obviously, we will be keeping up our single leg/ single arm work with the RFESS being kept in the programme. As always plenty of effective core strengthening/stability exercises will be seen as well as much loved conditioning tools and hill runs.

 

After a satisfying test week we have a challenging but fun 6 weeks ahead!
