Final Week in Cycle – Oct 14th – 19th

Cycle 40 Week 6

This new cycle sees the introduction of the box squat with the intention of building starting strength from the bottom. This will also keep variation in the big lift. Other exercises which may not have previously been used include the crossover step up, along with varying the loading of a walking lunge. Band resisted deadlifts will be used in order to provide a different stimulus and promote further progress in strength and power.

A varince of single leg/arm, core stability and strength and conditioning pieces as always should provide for challenging but enjoyable sessions.

As a new 6 week cycle ensues, always a good time to set some goals.

Cycle 39 Week 6

 

For this next 6 week training block, we are reintroducing a totals day once a week. This is a power lifting comp style day whereby you will try and set a 2RM in your back squat and deadlift along with a 5RM in your bench 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 have sets to technique failure one day per week in the back squat, chins and pushups which again will be another way of judging your progress week on week.

 

An upper body circuit is also back along with the hang power clean and a barbell complex.

 

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

Workouts 12/08/19 – 17/08/19

Cycle 39 Week 4

 

For this next 6 week training block, we are reintroducing a totals day once a week. This is a power lifting comp style day whereby you will try and set a 2RM in your back squat and deadlift along with a 5RM in your bench 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 have sets to technique failure one day per week in the back squat, chins and pushups which again will be another way of judging your progress week on week.

 

An upper body circuit is also back along with the hang power clean and a barbell complex.

 

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