Here
We
GO!!
Week 1 is upon us. Phase 1 and the recovery mechanisms are all about removing aches, pains, restrictions and... rebuilding your strength foundation.
We'll be doing so with pound-4-pound the 2 most effective KB exercises to do just that
... the overhead press
... the front squat
4 side effects of focusing on these 2:
- Increased strength.
- Boost in testosterone
- muscle gain in the shoulders, arms, upper back, legs, and hips.
- Improved capacity to build endurance.
But most importantly... the ability to do everyday activities - BETTER - and without throwing your back out.
Let's dive in...
Our approach in week 1 will be using "straight sets" and following a serial-interval circuit. A straight set is completing the same number of reps each consecutive set.
E.g., 3 presses for 10 sets (3/10).
A serial-interval circuit is a "series" of sets with 2 or more exercises (in this case, the press and squat).
Alternate hands each set.
E.g., Circuit #1: RLR for the press and squat. Circuit #2: LRL for the press and squat.
