Powerlifting, Strength & ConditioningThis is a 4 week fitness cycle that will push your conditioning and make you F-E-R-G-A-L-I-S-C-I-O-U-S! Yes, we put a lot of Fergie references in this program… who said conditioning couldn’t be fun?!
Fitness is the foundation for success when it comes to powerlifting, building muscle, and getting stronger. If you want to get conditioned, lose body fat, become more athletic, and become even more badass then this cycle is for you!
Building our fitness level means doing more reps and decreasing rest times on a progressive program. We do variations of squat, bench, deadlift EMOM style and do accessories that will challenge you to get out of your normal strict strength movements..and even a little conditioning like the bike, kettlebells, battle ropes, and/or jump rope!
“I powerlift.. why do I need a “fitness” phase?” If you just got done hitting big maxes and hammering your body with heavy weights. It’s time to give our joints, nervous system, and mind a break.
Gains are made in the offseason and there is a lot to gain in a fitness cycle! A fitness cycle allows you to train variations and work on weak points you normally don’t have the bandwidth for in a strength or peaking cycle.

🏴London Bridge- Armor Building⚔️
London Bridge This is actually called the "Armor Building" complex. Armor Building Complex = 2 Cleans, 1 Press, 3 Front Squats This is practice week! Practice the complex by doing a few DB/KB cleans first. Watch the demo to make sure you are doing them right! Then try to figure out what weight you think would start to challenge you for multiple rounds. A good place to start would be 2x20lbs for females and 2x40lb for males (obviously there is going to be some range here) Do 3 sets of 3 of the complex today without rushing the sets so that you have a good grasp on it! One set of 3 = [2 cleans, 1 press, 3 front squats], [2 cleans, 1 press, 3 front squats], [2 cleans, 1 press, and 3 front squats].
