Early Cycle Approach<\/p>\n
Approaching the first and second weeks of a new training cycle differs from how you will approach weeks five and six. Although we want you to push the effort every week, starting a new training cycle with a little room in the tank is essential to allow you to progress for the remaining 4 to 5 weeks of the program. With every new training block comes new exercises, rep and set formats, and conditioning styles. To get the most out of the six-week training block, we recommend taking the first and second weeks closer to RPE 7-8 on most exercises to allow for progressing towards RPE 9-10 in the later weeks. Following this structure eliminates the need for de-load weeks and allows for long-term sustainable progress.<\/p>\n
