March 24, 2019 – April 26, 2019 | CFPG Strength Training Series
Starting March 24, we will be running an intensive strength training program for five weeks. The program is built around 4 types of movement patterns: hinge, squat, pull, and press. The plan will be as follows:
Week 1: Dynamic Effort training larger than normal rep schemes, little rest between sets
Week 2: Max Effort 1 Rep Max with low reps and maximum rest time
Week 3: Hypertrophy Muscle Crushing Supersets
Week 4: Dynamic Effort training larger than normal rep schemes, little rest between sets
Week 5: Max Effort 1 Rep Max Retest with low reps and maximum rest time
During this strength training series, Athletes should eat appropriately. Carbohydrates are a key component to muscle recovery, so up your carbs and proteins, limit your fats, and get plenty of rest. We’re building you into a muscle machine!
