Friday 24-Oct-2024: AES-14-W.1-D.5

Written by Squad 5 Training

On September 20, 2024

On Fridays we will be focusing on the following:

Strength Intensity 1: Two different rep schemes will be programmed for the dips to allow for a large accumulation of reps without getting bored.

Strength Intensity 2: This section will compliment the first section nicely and include some variety on the pulling exercises that have been programmed to this point in the week.

Strength Balance: This section will emphasize the arms. There has not been a dedicated arms section up until this point in the week. In previous cycles, we included more isolated arm work, but with the increase in the volume of arms mixed in with other exercises, this will be the only section for arms.

Finisher: Finish each week with stretching and pump work of the lats.
