Week 4 · Session A · Strength Maintenance

Heavy hinge paired with a lateral bound, lateral single-leg work, and the pulling volume that keeps you winning net-front battles in the third period. Elite dose: one more working set on every lift, jump and interval than the standard block, and longer holds. Bar speed still governs — nothing goes to failure.

This week

Back off, then start the block again at week 1. This loop repeats for as long as the season does.
