VOLUME
👉 The aim of this training block is to get used to the exercises and become proficient in the movements.
👉 The weights you lift are not that important, so go off how you feel...all sessions should be no harder than a 6/10 (if it feels easier, then add weight, if it feels harder, then reduce the weight).
👉 Every few sessions the volume (number of reps) will increase, so you may have to reduce the weight until you've acclimatised to the extra work.
