WEDNESDAY WORKOUT

Just like the Squat cycle today will be the main strength day and Sunday with be the technical/speed day...

Here we go!!

STRENGTH:
Press
Warm Ups: 6 minutes to warm up...
5 reps @ 50%
3 reps @ 65%
2 reps @ 75%

Work Sets: 2-2:30 Clock Per Set
4 sets of 3 reps @ 80-90% 
* Start with the weight that you did for the FINAL set of 3 reps on Sunday and make SMALL additions or subtractions based on how things feel...

ONE MORE... Quick strip your weights down to 60-65% 1RM and do 1 set of 10 reps to finish!

Make these sets as CHALLENGING as possible WITHOUT missing any reps along the way...

STRENGTH ENDURANCE:
Deadlift 
10 reps @ 50% (UNBROKEN, TOUCH AND GO REPS ARE THE GOAL)
8 reps @ 65% (Again, unbroken as long as your back/positions are looking good!)
6 reps @ 75%
4 reps @ 80%

Take just TWO MINUTES REST between each set so make weight changes FAST & EFFICIENT!

You will have a 12-15 minutes for this section...

One more thing... NO SWITCH GRIPPING ON ANY SET

STRENGTH ASSISTANCE WORK: 4 minutes
Alternating Tabata (Alternate between the two movements each round)
#1 - STRICT Chin Ups (MAX REPS)(Sub: Pull Up Holds ABOVE 90 degrees at the elbow)
