The Explode Cycle is the 2nd of 4 off-season cycles for the Explosive Athlete program. We will train 4 days each week. 2 of 4 training days each week (one upper and one lower) are max-effort training days. That means that the intensity and the weight you will be lifting is extremely high, building to 5, 3, and 1 rep maxes. 2 of 4 training days will be dynamic effort days where the focus is on speed and moving weight fast.
