Cycle 40 Week 5

 

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.
