General Strength Program Semester 2

Here is the new general strength program for semester 2.  It has 4 phases that are each 4 weeks in duration.  Each phase builds upon the next phase, so no matter when you start the program, please start on phase 1 and follow the appropriate timelines.

Rest times for: 
Phase 1: 1 min rest between sets unless otherwise stated
Phase 2: 2 min rest between sets unless otherwise stated
Phase 3: 2-3 min between sets for major compound movements unless otherwise stated
Phase 4: 3 minutes per set for major compound movements unless otherwise stated

Reminders:
- Exercises listed as 1 and 2 with the same letter (eg. A1 and A2) are to be done with no rest between as a super set
- Week 1 is about finding appropriate weights to use for movements
- Week 2 about starting from those weights and trying to move up
- Week 3 pushing the envelope further and seeing gains
- Week 4 about hitting PR after PR.

- Don't sacrifice technique for intensity!
- Use a training log to keep your loads and numbers straight.  Beleive me when I tell you how much it helps to guide your sessions.

Enjoy and feel free to ask questions when and if you need
