-Part A and B repeat week to week. Track these metrics.
*Note that reps will be changing slightly starting NEXT WEEK. So this week will be the final week of the current rep scheme for the “repeated” movements. If you are still more than 2 reps shy of failure, GREAT WORK!! But now it’s time to start pushing the loading a bit!
A. Back Squat
Build to ONE challenging set of 5 reps following below protocol
Example assuming top Squat set is 315 x 5
135 x 10, 205 x 6, 255 x 3, 285 x 2, Then 315 x 5
The goal is for the FINAL set of 3 reps to be the “5-rep weight” you intend to use for Part A in the FOLLOWING week
Scale “knee jump” as “Tuck Jump” or “Jumping Air-Squat”Hang Squat Cleans x 3 Reps
Immediately into…
Knee Jump + 3 Broad Jumps

Rest 2-3 min
Reps 12-10-8 (increasing weight each set)
Reps are TOTAL, so 6-5-4 “per leg”
***Note that low reps mean weights are heavier (this is “strength” day)
E. 2 Rounds:
Weighted Plank x 30-45 seconds (heavy)
Barbell Ab Rollouts x AMRAP (-2) = 2 reps left “in reserve”
Rest as needed to ensure heaviest weight on Plank on second round
