NOTES

Thursday’s workout is a “alactic/lactic conditioning” piece meaning the first 10s of work should be maximal output while the last 10s of productivity will drop slightly. These sets of squat cleans should be fast singles or touch n go. You should need that entire 2 minutes to recover (most people could benefit from 3 minutes of rest). Athletes should use a load that will challenge them to complete 4-5 reps in that 20s interval.

Friday is technically a “strength only day” with a finisher. This accessory work should be challenging but you need to really feel the correct muscle-groups working, so shoot for quality over quantity. This day is also good for a change of pace.

Saturday is NOT a partner workout to change things up, but this is a benchmark piece that you’ll see again in 4-6 months.

Don’t forget to include “extra credit” work. This work will be the game-changer for you. Accessory work makes the dream work! Encourage each other to hang out for 5 minutes and get this work done. You’ll be rewarded later!
