Week 5 · Session D · Speed & Repeat-Shift Capacity

Acceleration and the engine behind it. Sled and bound work while you are fresh, then the interval work that decides whether shift eighteen looks like shift two.

This week

The strength phase opens. Reps drop, load climbs, rest gets long. Every working set is heavy and honest.
