Week 1 · Session A · Lower Power & Squat Strength

The first-three-strides session. Jump development opens it while the nervous system is fresh, then the squat pattern builds the force those strides are made of.

This week

Week 1 is re-entry: own the technique and the range, and leave every set feeling like two more were there.
