Introduction
How about all that squatting last week? Other than Monday’s strength work we’ve got no squatting this week. Although, we do have some running and rowing. This week will be our last strength week of this cycle. We will take a break from the strength work next week before starting a new cycle on June 4th.

Remember: We will be closed on Monday the 28th in celebration of Memorial Day.

Flexible Strength
A1 Front Squat 2-2-2-2-2
A2 Row 5-5-Max-Max-Max
B1 Sideways Step Ups with Farmers Carry 10 per leg
B2 Dips 5-5-5-5-5*

* On the dips, choose a band or add weight so that the last 3 sets of 5 are difficult.

A1 Deadlift 2-2-2-2-2
A2 Windmill 3-3-3-3-3 – Per side heavy weight in bottom position

A1 Push Press 2-2-2-2-2 or A1 Timed Pull-Up Ladder**

** You will likely not have enough time to do both strength components and the conditioning. The trainer will decide. If you don’t pick the exercise you are weakest in. For the pull-ups, Do 1 pull-up the first minute, 2 the second minute and so on until you cannot get all the reps done in the minute. Reps need not be continuous just all in the minute. If using a band try to choose a band that will allow you to make it to at least 5 minutes.
