Great weekend with this group up in Keystone.  Hiking and biking was a blast!!!

Performance Athletes today we will begin the third and final 4 week wave of the Wendler cycle.  During this phase again we will be making some adjustments to your current 1 RM’s before we calculate the our weights based off of the listed percentages. For Bench Press and Strict Press, we will be adding 5 pounds to our 1 RM. For Deadlift and Squat, we will be adding 10 pounds. However, if you have been consistently completing 15-20 reps on your Max Effort sets you should add 10 pounds to your Bench or Strict Press and 15-20 pounds to your Squat or Deadlift, depending of course on which lifts your are completing 15-20 reps.

Competition athletes today we’re starting a new cycle.  It will focus and building your fundational strength and your aerobic capacity.  The format for this next cycle will consist of some days at are more strength basis days.  However on some of these days there maybe an optional conditioning sessions.  For these optional sessions if you’re an athlete that feels your stronger then you are conditioned try and add these in, ideally 3-4 hours before/after performing the days primary work.  If you’re unable to add this in don’t stress about it, training will take care of it all, but above all “Train like a race horse, and think like a bumble bee.” (Ben Bergeron)
