Strength

This strength cycle will be based on The 5|3|1 Wendler strength program. The first week consists of 2 sets of 5 followed by a 3rd AMRAP [As many Reps as Possible] set. This 3rd set should be hard and within 1 - 2 reps of failure. The weights are based of your 1RMs. Anywhere written ME AMRAP [Max Effort AMRAP] should be done as close as possible to failure. Use the 3RM from previous week to estimate your 1RM using this formula: 3RM divided by 0.92 = Estimated 1RM The secondary circuit, where applicable use weights that are close to failure [Within 1 - 2 reps] Suggested Warm Up: General movement followed by: 5 @ 40% 5 @ 50% 3@ 60% Day 1  Back Squat 5 @ 60% 5 @ 70% ME AMRAP @ 80% *Rest 90 seconds to 2 min between sets 3 Rounds 10|10 DB or KB Split Squat @ 8 RPE 30 seconds ME Lying Banded Hamstring Curl 30 seconds ME Hollow Hold | Hollow Rock *Rest 90 seconds to 2 min between rounds *ME = Max Effort Day 2 Strict Press 5 @ 60% 5 @ 70% ME AMRAP @ 80% *Rest 90 seconds to 2 min between sets 3 Rounds 10 Bent Over Row @ 8 RPE ME AMRAP Strict Pull Ups 10 DB Bench Press @ 8 RPE ME AMRAP Ring Dip *Rest 90 seconds to 2 min between rounds Day 3 Deadlift 5 @ 60% 5 @ 70% ME AMRAP @ 80% *Rest 90 seconds to 2 min between sets 3 Rounds 10|10 KB Front rack lunge @ 8 RPE 12 Strict Hanging leg raise or GHD sit up 10 DB or KB Romaning Deadlift @ 8 RPE *Rest 90 seconds to 2 min between rounds
