Week 3 · Session A · Strength Maintenance

Two heavy patterns, one single-leg lift, and the groin work that keeps you available. In and out in forty-five minutes with legs that are still yours on Friday.

This week

The heaviest week of the loop, and still nothing goes to failure. Bar speed is the governor all month.
