Today we will be hitting the Front Squat. We are moving away from the back squat in this cycle in order to challenge you through a different movement pattern. You are going to hit the prep work and then take 15 minutes to find a 5RM for the day on your FS. We are saying 15 minutes because I want to push your conditioning with heavy weight. We are then going to hit some accessory work with our RDL's and plyo work before moving onto a conditioning piece using some heavy carries!

Today we have you pulling heavy. I want you to attack the deadlift and really rip it off of the ground. We are going to go for a heavy 2 reps so you can really stick the weight up. Again you'll have 15 minutes to do this. We are then going to move onto weighted pull ups. If you can't add weight that's fine, just get at least 5 sets in at bodyweight. We are then going to hit some accessory pulling work to grow those lats and build that strong thick back before moving on to some short sharp conditioning work using bodyweight only.

Today is our heavy sprint and trunk day. I want you to concentrate on running fast and moving with purpose. You're going to hit the sprint prep and then start hitting the sprint distances. I want you to sprint at max effort and focus on top speed rather than conditioning. I want you to rest as needed to make sure you're fully recovered for each sprint. You're going to hit 2 x 100m, 4 x 50m and 6 x 25m Max effort and speed sprints. Then You're then going to hit a 20 minute trunk circuit.

Today is our heavy upper body day. This cycle we are going to focus on the overhead press with our accessory work being the bench press movement patterns. We are also going to place some heavy focus on weighted dips. Today I want you to take 15 minutes to work to a heavy 5 reps on the strict press. We are then going to work on some horizontal pressing with some single arm bench and some plyometrics. Finally we are going to hit some conditioning work with the sled push, ski erg and DB Snatch.

Today will be our day for power cleans and developing that explosive strength. We will also be hitting a longer 'Grunt Work' Style workout. I want you to take 15 minutes again to work to a heavy triple on the cleans. Ive programmed power but if you want full cleans that is also fine. Remember the 15 minutes is to encourage you to work hard and heavy in a short space of time. This will pay off in the future. We will then go straight into our grunt work. If you have access to some sort of weighted vest. Wear it!

Saturdays are going to be our long slow distance days. Check out Ross Edgley's book blueprint for more details but essentially I want you to run, swim, ride or row for 40 minutes at 60-70% of your max heart rate. A simple way to find your max heart rate is 220 - your age but there are calculators online too. If you don't have a HR monitor go for an easy pace you could hold indefinitely. It is essential you don't go faster than this as you're going to then change the adaptation we are attempting to elicit from the training!
