If you're new to our programming remember that all of our programmed sets are working sets. We are assuming that you are hitting warm up sets in order to build yourself up to a heavy weight. Don't start counting until it becomes a legitimate challenge. We are going to start with the back squat. Make sure each rep is down to below parallel and is moving at a decent pace, slow and controlled down and then explode back up. Pair this with a box jump, we are doing something heavy then something fast and dynamic. Then move on to our single leg RDL's paired with box jumps. These will help develop great stability and build a strong posterior chain. Make sure you're getting as good stretch on the RDL's. Then test your upper body endurance with some high rep dips before moving onto our simple conditioning workout. I want you to hit this hard with big swings and a fast pace on the bike.

For today I want you to start on the trap bar for some relatively high reps. 1 arm db rows and pull ups follow to really give your back and shoulder girdle a test. We are then moving on to our push press. Really drive with your legs here and launch that weight up before controlling it back down. Then hit our flys which will really help to build that nice solid thick frame for when you’re carrying heavy weight.
