Today we'll do a little strength testing. :-)
Strength 10 - 15 Minutes PER Movement:
Strict Press - Absolutely NO hip drive. Find your 1RM Strict Overhead Press.
Warm-up sets should look something like this:
60% x 2 - 3 reps
75% x 1 - 2 reps
85% x 1 rep
90 - 95% x 1 rep
102% & up for 2 - 3 sets of 1 rep, setting your new 1RM
Deadlift - If you're wearing squishy shoes, take them off. NO Weightlifting Shoes for Deadlifting. This should go fairly quickly, as long as you know what your old 1RM was.
Warm-up sets should look something like this:
60% x 3 - 5 reps
75% x 3 reps
90% x 1 - 2 reps
105% x 1 rep
110% x 1 rep
110% & up for 2 - 3 sets of 1 rep, setting your new 1RM.
*Obviously, the last couple of sets sound pretty ambitious, but you should set a new personal best by a pretty good margin. Aim high, and don't sell yourself short; pull hard guys & gals!!!
