Week 4 · Session B · Lateral Quickness & Hip Maintenance

Short, sharp, and entirely about staying quick and staying available. Lateral output while fresh, a small dose of push-and-recover capacity, and hip control work to finish. 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.
