Today is Day 1 for the Powerlifting Team program. It is a very straight-forward volume day.

For the last 6x weeks we have been focused on hypertrophy with reps around 8. We have now begun the transition to everyones favorite 5x5 rep scheme on Competition Squat and 5x6 on Competition Bench. This will help taper a little bit of fatigue after the 8s we have been doing. With the reduction of fatigue we should be able to realize strength gains from the early hypertrophy work.

Our lower body accessory work, the bulgarian split squat, is a crowd “favorite”. The focus is building unilateral strength and stability... and some extra leg pump.

Finally we are finishing with a bicep/tricep superset so we can leave the gym with a nice juicy pump and carry on with the rest of our day.

Come train with Head Coach for team sessions Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

9/2 - we got a date. ;) 6 months of no inside training, and we finally got a date. New schedule and new policies coming soon. We are excited.

In compliance with the Governor's orders we will be closing tonight at 8pm. Please stay tuned for updates
