2022 is winding down and with that we are starting our final 2 training cycles of the year.
We wanted to create a resource for you to see where we are going in the coming 6 weeks and this article will serve as that roadmap.
Below we will breakdown our training plan and what you need to know to make the most out of every week.
The first thing we want to emphasize is that while we believe this is a great training program, it is still fully dependent on your commitment to simply showing up and doing the work.
The first Core Value of every client and staff member of South Landing is that WE WORK HARD.
There are no shortcuts to progress and everything you want is on the other side of consistently putting in the hard work each week to achieve what you want to achieve.
The best program in the world is only as good as the effort you dedicate to it.
We hope you do exactly that in the coming 6 weeks as we truly believe that your effort will show you incredible things.
6 Week Cycle Structure:
Weeks 1-2: Focus on mechanics and technique to make sure when we get to our heavy weeks we not only perform at a high level but we also perform with high quality.
Weeks 3-4: Focus on increasing intensity and strength as we begin to really push strength upwards.
Week 5: We will back off slightly and have a lot of fun workouts in order to make sure you feel fresh coming into our final week.
Week 6: Test week! Intensity will be high and we will be focusing on showing off all of your hard work.
