Strength & Conditioning:
—————————————————
*This Press cycle is DOUBLE PROGRESSION. See details below.
Everyone will start this program on the low end of the rep range, 6 reps at the same weight for 3 sets today. The overall goal by the end of this program is to get ALL 3 sets a the same weight for 8 reps (ideally this should happen week 3). Once you can do that, you add 5% to the bar NEXT TIME. That new load should knock you down to 3 sets at 6 reps again, but eventually, you will be strong enough to do it for 3 sets of 8 again (might take a week or 2). Then we add another 5% and repeat the process.
Example:
NOTE: 3 x 6 x 95 means 3 sets for 6 reps and 95 is the weight used for each set. (for sake of the example)
Week 1 — 3 x 6 x 95lbs
Week 2 — 3 x 7 x 95lbs
Week 3 — 3 x 8 x 95lbs.
Week 4 — DELOAD
Week 5 — 3 x 6 x 100lbs.
Week 6 — 3 x 7 x 100lbs.
Week 7 — 3 x 8 x 100lbs.
and so on….

1min. of Single DB Bicep Curls (45/20lb.)
*No Rest between sections here. Your goal is to just get as many reps as possible with as little rest as possible for all sections.
1.) I Suggest 5-15lb. on the hanging knee raises.
2.) Make sure BOTH sides of the DB hits the ground on the deadlifts.
3.) On the DB Bench for part 3, your goal is to do about 12-15 reps on the first set, take a quick 10-15sec. rest and get right back on it and chip away at sets of 6-8. Try not to rest for more than 20sec. at any given time.

With a running clock, as fast as possible complete the prescribed work in the order written, starting each new segment with 10 burpees.
There IS NO REST between sections, so just keep on moving!
This is called “accumulator” style and it’s one of my all time favorite templates!
ENJOY!
P.S. If you need more time to finish and you have the time to do so, then go for it 🙂
