New Cycle Starts June 6th | INFO HERE

May 23rd - June 5th: Rest & Skill Work, no structure strength work

June 6th - June 16th: New Strength Cycle

STRENGTH CYCLE INFORMATION

We will begin our next endeavor on June 6th with an 8-week cycle.

We will switch our focus to heavier Front Squats, Deadlifts, Bench Press, and some weighted gymnastic movements that will get us through the end of July. The focus will be on gaining strength and muscle endurance in our drive and pull. Don’t worry; we will have some Olympic lifting mixed into the workouts.

What we will see is slightly different than our traditional lifts for the three lifts we are going to focus on. You will see some tempo & pause work for the front squats and bench press and also some dead spot & deficit deadlifts!

All three of these lifts will be coupled up with a certain gymnastics movement.

Pull Ups with Front Squats

Box Jumps with Bench Press

Strict Handstand Push Ups with Deadlifts
