What is this?
Hello Everyone! We are going to change the structure of our Strength design in the upcoming week!
In case you aren’t aware of the usual routine we currently follow, here’s the breakdown of our Strength routine:
Week 1: Monday – Upper Body , Tuesday – Olympic , Wednesday – Lower Body , Thursday – Conditioning , Friday – Upper Body.
Week 2: Monday – Lower Body , Tuesday – Olympic , Wednesday – Upper Body , Thursday – Conditioning , Friday – Lower Body.
The “LULU” Squat Program
For the next 8 weeks (6/15 – 8/3) we will be starting a new block focused primarily on our 1RM Back Squat.
The term “LULU” comes from the original template we are currently following, “Lower – Upper – Lower – Upper”.
Here’s the new setup:
Week 1: Monday – Back Squat Focus (%’s) + Accessory, Tuesday – Olympic (Focus on Hangs + Powers), Wednesday – Upper Body Focus, Thursday – Conditioning/Accessory, Friday – Lower Body Focus (Deadlifts) .
Week 2: Monday – Back Squat Focus + Accessory, Tuesday – Olympic (Focus On Overheads, Jerks, Snatch Balances, etc.) Wednesday – Lower Body Focus, Thursday – Conditioning/Accessory, Friday – Upper Body Focus.
Max Out Monday
In conclusion to the program, we are going to have that following Monday catered specifically for our 1RM testing – nothing else. Just hitting new 1RM Back Squat’s throughout the day.
We’re excited to see the progress and how this program will flow. Feel free to ask any questions! Good luck you little behemoths.
Signing Off,
Neil – Thomas Y. Lauri the Fifth
