Week 3 Day 1
Sunday was a full rest day with just a couple of walks. Like every other week, week 3 will start with squats.
Back Squat: 5X4 at 80% one rep max. Weight is backed off a little bit this week and volume is added. This will change in the coming weeks and weight increases will soon become the main focus.
Front Squat: 3X5 at 50%% one rep back squat max. Weight continues to increase on the accessories as volume remains the same (technically volume is total reps and weight but you get what I'm talking about).
Walking Lunges: 3X8 per leg. The intention was to do this with my new 70 lbs dumbbells but only one showed up. I likely would have had to reduce reps each set anyway but I was looking forward to the challenge.
Plank: 3X60 seconds, this is what the programming calls for. However, I will likely do my entire main core day. You can reach out if you want to know what that looks like.
Get week 3 started off right and knock out this workout. I have noticed that a little bit of a reduction in intensity has resulted in less fatigue. I can't say for sure that the reps are feeling more crisp but up to this point there hasn't been any struggle.
