Programming Sneak Peek (2/3-2/9)

This week, we'll continue our Tempo Strength Cycle with 5X1 Front Squats and Deadlifts at a 20X1 tempo. This means we are once again increasing load (intensity) and decreasing our volume and tempo duration. This will be the last training week of the cycle before we deload and retest in the coming weeks!
