New Strength Cycle Starts Today.
The goal for this 12 week cycle is to build baseline strength. Make sure you are calculating your percentages correctly. Do not try to lift heavier than what is programed for the specific day so you have plenty of room to grow over the 12 weeks.
Weekly strength format is as follows:
Monday: Back Squat
Tuesday: Strict Press
Wednesday: Core
Thursday: Deadlift
Friday: Bench Press
Freedom WOD Classes
Warm Up: 5 Mins
400 M Run
21 Back Sq
15 Push Ups
9 Hang Cleans
Mobility:
Perform mobility between strength sets
Roll out legs and hips
Strength: 15 Mins
Back Squats using 90% of your 1RM to calculate load
2 min rest/mobility between sets
65% X 5
75% X 5
85% X 5+
When you see 5+, 3+, or 1+, that means you do the max reps you can manage with
that weight, with the goal of setting a rep record in each workout.
