This week at the gym!
Ready for next week?
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Monday is week 1 of a 6 week "5x5 Strength Program!"
In this program, we will be constantly trying to increase our weight in the 5x5 lifts each and every week. On this first week, it's normal to edge on the lighter side and then start to really settle in to weights that will challenge us each week from here. I recommend starting around 70% of your 1 rep for ALL SETS. Not just building up to it. So, yes, your warm up sets DO NOT COUNT today. Just working sets. So, after you log your weights today on the Front Squat, your goal will be to do MORE weight for ALL SETS next week. And every week after for the next 6 weeks. If the lift (Like today's Power Clean) is not a "5x5" rep scheme, then read the comments for that lift.
The schedule will look like this:
Monday - Front Squat + Olympic Lifting
Tuesday - Press + Pull Movement
Wednesday - Cardio Specific
Thursday - Back Squat + Olympic Lifting
Friday - Bench Press + Deadlift
Saturday - Cardio-Specific Team Workout
Sunday - OFF
MUSIC
In the coming 6 weeks we will have “a music theme” each week. We will give you all each week 3 themes to choose from so you can help us find the best workout musics for that week.
We will start the first week of the year with the musics theme: MICHAEL JACKSON
