Friday’s Training Intent:
– Strength: Final week of Speed Work, but this week we’ll switch to 3-speed sets with close grip bench and 3 “heavier” sets. These heavier sets should not be maximal and feel smooth.
– Metcon: Today’s piece should be done around 70% effort meaning you’re able to go through each station and complete all the listed work with no issues. Today is not supposed to be brutally hard, but should still get your heart-rate up. This work is both conditioning and GPP based and very effective for improving your conditioning.
STRENGTH:
1) Speed Close Grip Bench Press: 3 x 3 @50%, every 60s.
Then, 3 x 3, up to a moderate weight of 3 Close Grip. Rest 2:00 between heavy sets.
– Use chains or bands if possible and drop the load to 40%.
