Strength bias for the month of January (Monday's workout):
  • Back squat, front squat, or overhead squat.
    • Perform a minimum of four warm-up sets of five reps each.
      • Warm-up sets should prepare, not fatigue.
      • First warm-up set should be with an empty bar.
      • Warm-up sets should start with no more than 30% of your anticipated work sets.
    • The first work set is accomplished when the bar speed slows or technique degrades.  (in the case of technique degradation, back off a few pounds and continue with the sets across)
      • Do two more sets across (5 reps).
    • On the next workout, warm-up and then do three work sets of five repetitions (three sets across) using 10-20 more pounds than the previous workout.
  • Do the same for the press.
Supplemental workout:
Ten minute AMRAP, no rest.
  • KB swing x15
