Week 3!!
Monday — Cardio U (MAS %)
The first MAS-prescribed conditioning session following last week’s MAS testing. We kick off at 100% of individual MAS rather than prescribed targets.
The main goal is aerobic power, repeat sprint ability and fatigue resistance. The 20/10 seconds active recovery structure keeps oxygen elevated whilst allowing room to repeatedly hit prescribed output.
Tuesday — Strength UB
This session introduces cluster sets to progress upper-body strength while maintaining technical quality throughout key and accessory lifts.
Key lift - BB Military Press utilising tested 5RM to individualise loading. The cluster format breaks the work into smaller groups with recovery time, allowing structure to maintain force production and bar speed at heavier loads.
Wednesday — XTX
The first partnered XTX progression, cardio bias, combining repeated high-intensity efforts with moderate resistance movements.
The objective is repeatable output incorporating short passive recovery while partners take over - the overall density remains high.
Thursday — Pump LB
Increasing mechanical tension while maintains strength patterns.
Focus: Hypertrophy - working close to failure with minimal reps in reserve developing bilateral and unilateral strength; hamstrings, posterior chain capacity and single-leg stability.
Zercher Squat:
Focus on trunk stiffness, an upright squat position and coordinated hip/knee force production.
BB Deadlift:
Focus on bar path, bracing and hip-extension mechanics.
Friday - Cardio HIIT
This progression increases the work interval to 30 seconds while reducing the total number of intervals. Find the highest sustainable intensity that can be reproduced across all eight sets.
Saturday — Shred (Mixed)
This progression moves to two 25-minute blocks, increasing the amount of work performed within each zone as we continue to build aerobic capacity and foundational strength qualities required for the block’s BB Conventional Deadlift and BB Military Press.
In the cardio zone, the priority is consistency across all four sets at steady state pace.
Huge week ahead, get booking team! 🗓️
