The third phase of this program is designed to help the body produce the highest amounts of neuromuscular power, thus increasing the working potential of your muscles. Building off the previous stages, this stage utilizes contrast training to combine high neuromuscular efforts in various movements and loads (4 total exercises). Each contrast circuit is organized in a way to modify the load under which a maximal intent effort is being performed. Each circuit should be done so that there is 30-60 seconds of rest between exercises and 3-5 minutes of rest between circuits. If longer rest needed, do not hesitate to take it. It is critical that movement quality and velocity are not sacrificed for repetitions or number of times a circuit is performed. In order to best optimize the efficiency of the workout, it may be best to set your equipment up prior to beginning the contrast circuit. This eliminates the need to spend rest time setting up the next exercise.
