Week 2 - Phase 1
Day 1
Warm-Up (5-10 minutes)
+ Banded Sled (short range step-ups if you don’t have bands / sled or a hill nearby)
+ Split Squat Pulses (assisted if needed).
Lean back for the last few reps to open the hip flexors up for smoother squats.
+ Soccer ball juggling.
Block 1. (10 minutes)
A. Back Squat (Stets of 10 Slant Board Squats If You’re Not Squatting)
10D3 Back Squats + 3 Slant board squats OR 1-3 Jump Squats.
70% of 1RM or 10kg up from last sessions weight.
Drop the weight by 25-40% to finish the block if you reach technical failure.
NOTE - Don’t miss reps. Don’t do ugly repetitions. Stay safe. Keep the quality high. If you get to a slow repetition that’s your last heavy repetition for the day. More than 2 seconds in the concentric is too long.
Block 2. Pair (10 minutes)
Single Leg RDL + Pistols
10D5-10 Left leg on minute 1, right leg on minute 2.
Focus on smooth reps.
Increase range of motion only if it’s feeling solid.
Listen to your body.
Single leg good mornings with the bar on your back are a good alternative or single leg back extensions if RDL’s aren’t working for you.
Pistol Squats Or Heavy Step-Ups
10D2+2 Left leg on minute 1, right leg on minute 2.
Start with 2 reps.
Increase by 2 reps each set if you can.

Go straight from press into 5 curls

OPTIONAL - Max out repetitions on the last set if you can do more than 3 smooth reps. Stop when the bar speed drops.
If you’re doing handstand push-ups, use the variation you’re able to do 3-5 repetitions of.
Block 2. Pair (10 minutes)
B1. Speed Chin-Up with controlled eccentric
10D3
Add weight for the first 3-5 sets if possible. Keep the quality high.
Alternating between weighted and unweighted sets also works well to allow relative rest and speed contrast.

B2. Deficit Push-Ups

OPTIONAL - Maximum smooth reps on the last set if you’re feeling fresh.
