Mini Cycle Straight from HELL!!!!


I am approaching the last week of my current maximum strength block which is going well. My weights are getting better and I am sure progress will continue in the upcoming block which I'll be starting after this weeks upcoming restorative type week. In week 3 I approached the time in which I had to maintain the residual previously developed in my aerobic blocks. Needless to say I was glad when that mini-cycle was in the books.

Day 1
Floor Press-5x3 @ 255, 285,290,300, 285
CG Band Push up-3x12 @ Green Band SS 1 arm row-4x12@80
ITY
Bilateral PNF D2 Flexion
Side lying ext rot

Day 2
Speed Squat-5x5sec@ hit RPE of 10 at 250
Bulgarian SS- 4x8 @185
GHR-4x8 GHR Pulsing-3x20

Day 3
Tempo Push Up-4 series of 3x 60/60. pk HR=142
Heavy Pull Up- 5x3@ 45+ BW 1 arm face pull-3x12 @70
Grappler Anti-Rot-3x12

Day 4
Front Squat-5x3 @275, 315, 340, 355, 360
Tempo Squat-4 series of 3x 60/60. pk HR=147
1 leg Hip Thrust-3x10@2 chains
Ab Rollouts


My floor Press 3RM is up about 5 pounds from personal best. My Front Squat 3 RM is about where it was before injury. So far This was the most difficult block in terms of recovery but by no means was it intolerable. My speed squat went up a lot this week. I was able to lift in the mid morning hours all week due to mid term break which allowed for awesome sleep quality. Resting HR is floating around the 60's right now which is way up but was expected.
More good news...HAWKS take 8th Straight!!!!
