April 26 - 29

Welcome back to a new week of fun and excitement! This is week 2 of the strength based training approach we are now in. You can utilize your numbers from your 5RM to project a new 3RM for this week. One method is to use a chart that breaks lifts down into reps and weights based on percentages to determine where approx. your lift should fall. There is also an old school method of dropping 2 reps for every 10 lbs added in barbell lifts that is typically quite effective.
Remember though that lifts are determined by individuals and not by charts. Go for it if you think you have it in you. Dictate your own performance and don't have it dictated to you.

Look directly into the center of this wheel and amazing things will happen!

You have now been hypnotized to be faster, lift more and go longer. It was that easy!
