Phase 1 - Accumulation 1
Accumulation phase means the number of reps per set will be on the higher side. This means weight loads will be lower. In fact, they will probably be significantly lower than you expect, if this is your first time using a controlled tempo. The goal is to accumulate a more volume and exposure to these movements, to prepare your system for higher weight loads in the next phase.
The weekly structure will be 4 Primary workouts, 2 Conditioning sessions, and 2 Aerobic workouts.
If you run out of time for the Conditioning, you can add it on to the front end of your next Aerobic day.
