Second round of Intensification.  Again, that means reps will be lower each set, and weights will be HIGHER.  This time we’re dipping down into 2 and 3 reps per set.  But I don’t let you off that easy.  Each big lift has a pause in the stretched (or disadvantageous position).

By spending more time in those bottom positions, without the help of momentum to get you back up, we’re going to build a lot of strength to help you “get out of the hole” for when you don’t have to pause in the bottom.  Because this pause adds time under tension and greater fatigue, expect your numbers to be a bit less than your true 2 or 3 RM’s.

Review the video on the main Team page for a refresher on how to read the tempo notation.
