Training Notes
D
From the Desk of John Welbourn
If you hit 10 or more reps on your last attempt on the Strict Press, you need to increase your weight next time the movement comes up for Foundation Work. Increasing weight over time is a core principle of strength and fitness training. If you hit less then 10 reps, you might be good to go on weight. John
