Week 1 Cycle 21

 

With Xmas now over it’s time to get back into structured training and with that we are starting a brand new 6 weeks cycle tomorrow.

 

For this cycle, we will be implementing a double conditioning day which will rotate day week to week. This is along with one day being a bodyweight and kettlebell only day, this will be a nice change to usual barbell training and will also include some pistol squats which will be a nice way of gauging single leg strength and overall mobility development.

 

Conventional deadlifts will alternate with straight leg deadlifts week to week while squats will follow a rep scheme of 2/4/8/12.

 

As always, we have programmed a balanced training program which covers bi-lateral and uni-lateral upper and lower body movements in multiple planes of motion. Re-hab/ prehab strategies will be employed for all members as well as anyone recuperating from injury.

 

This next 6 weeks is a great opportunity for you to dial in your diet and training so set yourself some SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time-Based) goals, write them down, hold yourself accountable to them and it will keep you motivated.
