Week 4 · Session A · Strength Maintenance

Two heavy patterns, one single-leg lift, and the groin work that keeps you available — with the hinge paired to a jump so the strength stays fast. Under an hour, with legs that are still yours on Friday. 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.

Trap Bar Deadlift

Heavy and fast. The second the bar slows, the set is done — then thirty seconds and straight into the jump.
