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.
