Strength

2-Count Pause Squat and 2-count Pause Bench Press

This is a repeat of last week. This week you can start to push it a little more, since it is a repeat. When we start a new program I like to repeat the reps and sets and the same RPE so you can dial in technique.

5 at RPE-8, then break up 15 more reps not returning to RPE-8 again.

(Pause at the bottom of the squat for 2 seconds and pause at the chest for 2 seconds. Keep you belly tight and keep tension. The pause is not rest time. Once you discover the appropriate stress and the right weight for 5 reps at RPE-8, then break up 15 more. You should only have one hard set, which is your 5 at RPE-8, then you might break it up like this: 4 reps, 4 reps , 4 reps and 3 reps totaling 15.)

Pullups

5 at RPE-8, then break up 20 more reps. We are going up 5 more reps since the pull-ups are not a new movement
