Alright ladies and gents, we’re back into our strength cycle. For those new around here, we’ll be doing something similar to the 5/3/1 methodology like last year. Weights for the strength portions will be based on our training maxes as determined last week. For the first 3 week mini-cycle, we’ll be utilizing 90% of our max as our training max. So, for example, for squats today, if your max was 315 last week, your training max for the strength work will be 90% of 315, 283.5 (you can round up to even numbers). For the last set, denoted with the +, you’ll be going for a rep max at that weight, so roughly 1 rep in reserve on that set.

Only 1 from C/D/E is mandatory this cycle so that you can focus on the strength work and recover appropriately.

A/B mandatory. Pick 1 out of C/D/E.
