Welcome to our new cycle.

Last week served as a "deload" with the hope of taking a little volume off of the lifting and and providing some additional rest for the body. This week we will officially move into our fall strength cycle. Here are a few things you will notice:

Squatting - we will be building strong legs this fall! For back squats specifically, we will be doing our traditional modified Texas Method (5x5 increasing each week). Additionally, there will usually be a second day of accessory squatting - this could be front squats, OHS, lunges, etc. Please note, the volume of squatting in this cycle is significant, so listen to your body and take a day off if needed. Because our strength portion will include so much squatting you will see less (but not none) below parallel movements in our conditioning.

Olympic Lifting - Most of our olympic lifting will be focused on the power movements. There will be a mix of "heavy with small rep schemes" and "on the clock simple complexes". This will be a good opportunity for us to dial in those movement and work on our application of power.

Deadlifting - after a bit of time working traditional deadlifts, we will move to performing sumo-deadlifts for the fall. The main reason is to reduce the spinal load given the weekly volume of back squats. The sumo deadlift is great tool to increase quad/hip strength and will be a nice addition to the posterior work we are already doing.

Conditioning - not a lot changes here in this time of the year. You will notice a few more EMOM style conditionings and few more shorter/higher intensity pieces. We typically move away from the endurance work in the fall, but this is not to say we won't throw one in every now and again.

It will be a solid few months of training and hopefully a great opportunity for you to get stronger and address your weaknesses.
