Week 5.

These 6 weeks will be focused around drop sets. Drop sets are essentially a technique where you perform an exercise and then drop (reduce) the weight and continue for more reps. A brilliant way of building work capacity and strength whilst. We will also be following 5/4/3 rep scheme for major lower body lifts so the aim here is to increase weight each set while the reps drop.

 

Warm-ups for next 6 weeks will also focus around improving and progressing both push -/pull-up strength in addition to overhead squat technique.

 

We will also have an option of a weightlifting group for those that want to continue with them of which we hope a few will. However, if you decide to do this you cannot just cherry pick the clean and neglect the snatch, if you’re in weightlifting then you’re doing both!
