Week 1 · Session A · Strength Maintenance

Heavy hinge, lateral single-leg work, and the pulling volume that keeps you winning net-front battles in the third period. Two working sets on the main lift and not one more.

This week

Load is moderate on purpose — in-season lifting exists to keep what you built, not to make you sore for Friday.
