Key lifts for this training block:

  • Back Squat
  • Front Squat
  • Front Rack Dumbbell Lunges
  • Deadlift
  • Bench Press
  • Push Press
  • Barbell Bent Over Rows
  • Pull-ups (Assisted or non-assisted)

These are the lifts on which we are focusing this first training block.  At the end of this training block, you should expect a 3-7% improvement in strength in each of the above lifts/movements.  Why is this impressive? Since each block is 4-6 weeks long, and you are aiming for 3-7% improvements every 4-6 weeks, it is possible to see a 36-80% improvement in strength over this year! This is the power of consistency and sticking to a plan.  Small gains every week turn into massive progress over a year!
