Subject: Phase 4, Warm Ups & Workout Card Pdf's

Hi Friend,



Happy Sunday to you!



Tomorrow is the next test for our virtual training in that we'll be learning a new phase of a new quarter.  I've made the exercise substitutions for the med balls, hurdles, TRX and pull ups.  If you have the space, the budget and/or the interest in owning these tools, I recommend investing in the ones that fit your situation best.  No one knows for certain how long we'll be quarantined and sheltered, but we can all agree there's a strong chance we'll get back to life as normal and back to training in person.  


Quarter 2
The themes for our 2nd quarter are:  

  • Fat Loss
  • Muscle Definition
  • Beach Season #1
  • Summer Sports
The training dates are:  March 23 to June 6
  • Phase 4:  Mar 23 to April 18 (4 on, 1 off)
  • Phase 5:  April 27 to May 16 (3 on, 0 off)
  • Phase 6:  May 18 to June 6 (3 on, 0 off)


Phase 4
The theme for the phase is strength.  The weights are going up 5% (from 15-30% to 15-35%), we'll use a strict cadence of 3-1-1 (down, hold, up), longer work sets (30sec), decreased rest between strength sets (15sec), longer time total time on strength (from 10min to 13.5min) and new exercise progressions for our strength training this phase.  



The phase is a 4 weeks on, 1 week off phase (April vacation, the week of 4/20), so we'll get 2 record weeks in our 1st phase.   



If we're still on lockdown I may be open to adding back a week if you'd be interested in training that week.  We can revisit it as we get closer.


Here's are the pdf links for in class and for virtual.
