Week 2 - Cycle 15

For the following 6 weeks we are going to be trying to further develop our strength levels by implementing a rep scheme of 3/3/3 @90% 3RM + drop set of 10 for all main lifts. This will hopefully result in everyone improving the 3RM scores achieved during the test week just gone.

2 days during the week will be more focused on building upper body strength by utilizing a 10min upper body circuit. We will be keeping these upper body circuits the same over the 6 weeks, meaning you will be able to gauge strength improvements by the number of rounds and reps you are able to complete.

We will also be including 2 days with longer conditioning pieces along with running hills at least once a week to help improve people’s cardiovascular fitness

As always we will be working on single leg/arm movements, bodyweight movements and incorporating various tools including gymnastics rings and kettlebells etc throughout our programming.
