Strength

It was quite fun to ditch the pauses last week. People felt strong and felt capable. The pauses helped with movement quality and efficiency. So…let’s do it again!

Squat and Bench Press

5 at RPE-8, then break up 15 more reps. Not returning to RPE-8 after the activation set.

Pullups

Max reps to RPE-9, then complete half of those reps for 5 min EMOM. (The activation set to RPE-9 is key. If you complete 8 reps, then you will do 4 reps every minute at the top of the minute for 5 min)

20 min Circuit

1. 2 Sleds (or 20 Weighted step ups)
2. 10-15 Push Press
3. 10-15 Split Squats each side
