A.) Strict Press (Double Progression Week 8)
LAST WEEK before our deload week and then will start a NEW cycle the following Week.
Strict Press 6-8 Reps
superset with;
10-12 Heavy DB Russian Twists
Rest 2min. Repeat For 3 Total Sets.
*Use 30% LESS weight on the Press than the heaviest set you did over the past 7 weeks.
B.) 15min. AMRAP:
50 Double Unders
15 Pull-Ups
15 Thrusters (95/65)

Booty Crew:

A.) EMOM 10 Min 

8 Barbell Hip Thrusts with 3 pulses at the top or bottom of each rep

B.) EMOM 10 Min

12 Barbell Glute Bridges + 5-10 Pulses at the top (use the same weight as part A)

C.) 20 min AMRAP:

Sweat:

40min. EMOM: (8 Rounds)
Min. 1) 10 DB Push Press 50/35s
Min. 2) 15 American KB Swings 53/35lb.
Min. 3) 5 Burpees + 30 Double Unders
Min. 4) 20/15 Cals of Choice
Min. 5) Rest

The cals of choice can be either a rower, assault bike, or ski erg. However, today, I definitely want everyone shooting for that higher number of cals each round! That’s a pivotal part of today’s  workout 🙂

Some of you advanced athletes may also do a 70/53lb. KB for the swings OR do 20 reps with the 53/35lb. If you wanna try 70/50s for the DB Push Press on minute 1, that’s another great option. I’d say to just shoot for an unbroken rep range between 8-10 reps each round on that.

8-10 DB Arnold Press (Right Arm)

Calves:
8 sets with NO REST between:
20sec. of Seated DB Calf Raises.
10sec. of Holding the last rep at the top

**Go LIGHT here on the weight as this is going to get hard. I also recommend doing between 10-15 reps in that 20sec. window. Anything more than that tends to get very hard to hang onto for the rest of the workout.

The first day of this cycle starts on 2/8

*DOUBLE PROGRESSION MODEL

The goal on these movements is to get ALL 3 sets for 8 reps. Once you can do that, you add 5% to the bar. That new load should knock you down to 3 sets at 6-7 reps, but eventually, you will be strong enough to do it for 3 sets of 8 again. Then we add another 5%. With the unilateral movements that I chose for this cycle, I believe this is going to be the best format for results.

————————————————-

NO WARM UP SETS are included in any of these sets and reps, so be sure to do 1-2 sets in each section to get warm, but do not count them as “working sets.”
