Welcome to the next Intensification phase.  The rep ranges in this phase will be relatively lower than the previous 3 weeks, allowing for greater weight loads to be moved.

Note the tempo on the A-Series primary lifts.  They all have a 5-second eccentric (negative).  Make sure you don’t rush this.  A lot of strength gains come from the eccentric portion of the lift, so let’s use it.

Review the video on the main Team page for reminders on tempo.  Also, remember that the X in the tempo means EXPLOSIVE.  So muster up your courage and go for it.  Even if the actual speed of the bar isn’t fast, you should still be pushing/pulling with explosive INTENT.

Post questions and comments on the Team Feed.

Good luck, have fun, and get STRONGER!
