First time? Check out the Training Guide

Welcome to the new training block, fellas!
For the next four weeks, we are going to focus HEAVY on fixing common sticking points in your lifts. Expect lots of assistance exercises programmed heavy instead of for volume, and plenty of hypertrophy-specific work. To continue developing overall athleticism and explosiveness, we will continue to start most sessions with dynamic movements. Rucking will be sparse during this training block, as we are focusing on more restful recovery on non-lifting days to accommodate all of this.

A1) Seated Box Jump:

8x1, highest height that you feel safe with

A2) Explosive Step-up

8x4

B) Pin Squat

6x1 @ 70-80% 1rm back squat, based on your ability for this particular lift. I want you guys starting just above the bottom position of YOUR squat, whether that's parallel or slightly below.
