Hi Friend,
Happy Sunday to you and fingers crossed for the Alves Family that tonight is our last night in the hotel and that our closing and moving into our new home all goes smoothly tomorrow.
Back to you.
How are you feeling? I hope you feel great, strong, in shape and ready for more and I also know that life happens differently for everyone so if you're feeling overloaded, managing hard things, not feeling in shape and feeling like you're out of your self-care and/or life routine, well that happens too.
Tomorrow is a fresh and every moment is a fresh start, clean slate. Use it when you can.
Phase 13 Overview
Here we go. You did it. Last phase of 2021. It'll be 4 weeks. It'll be fast and energizing. You're body for the most part is going to feel great, energized and you're going to be bright eyed and magnetic. You'll be ready for winter sports so far as being in shape goes, maybe not skills in shape, but conditioning in shape and you'll be peaking for holiday hotness, so you'll feel more confident as the weeks and workouts go by.
This phase is very dynamic, very athletic and uses some of our highest skill levels of the year and certainly of the quarter. This means it'll be very fun.
DB Load = 20-40%BW on A/B#1, 3, 5 & 6 for our light & fast days. 25-45%BW on A/B#2 and 35-55%BW on A/B#4 for our strong days.
We'll be doing 20:20's for our strength sets. We'll build up to 2 rounds. You'll aim for 4-8, 6-10 or 8-12 reps for most D1 & D2 and E1 & E2 strength exercises (see virtual card below).
Themes
Remember our themes for the quarter: winter sports and holiday hotness.
P11's hypertrophy and P12's strength themes got you stronger so you could do more in your sports, be more confident, more resilient and durable. P13's power endurance theme will get you in conditioning shape for the sports you choose to play, so you're not strong and slow, but strong & fast. Electric. Explosive. Reactive. Plus as a side benefit you'll peak for holiday hotness, whatever that might mean for you. For me, it'll mean I'll be more photogenic, leaner, looser (more flexible), taller posture, energized and cardiovascularly in shape (more dance ready on demand). Stuff I care about that you might not.
Now it's time to peak!
