Week 1

 

This new 6 week cycle sees many of the big compound lifts follow a rep scheme of 5/4/3/5. As always a nice mix of upper and lower body exercises will be improved upon over the programme. An abundance of accesory and core exercises will be utilised making sure to attack from all angles and keep the body guessing. With the good weather obviously comes hill runs, so we will be trying to include these at least twice a week.

 

Warm ups will be quick but effective with the start of some sessions being more conditioning type work. Activation and specific injury prevention exercises will be seen in warm ups as well as in the thick of the sessions.

 

Have a look, and looking forward to seeing you all up the gym.
