WOD & Barbell Club: Tuesday, January 14

Hey Barbell Club Team!

As we enter the last few weeks of this training block, a few things are going to start to change.

1. Notice the * by the sets of Back Squat and Bench Press today (and Deadlift on Saturday). This indicates that these can be sets of 1-3 reps. 90% is very heavy, and you might find that 3 reps is out of reach on a given day. That’s OK. If you can only do 3×1 at your 90%, that’s what you should do.

2. We are decreasing our accessory volume. As we get closer to the end of the block and retesting our maxes (MAX OUT SATURDAY is on Feb 15), we are going to decrease our overall volume so that your body can begin to rest and recover.

3. The percentages on your Medium and Light days are going to decrease from last week. Note that today’s Deadlifts are at 75%, which is lighter than last week. Again, this is with an eye towards beginning the recovery process before we retest our lifts.

Feel free to reach out if you have questions. See you at the gym!!! 💪🏼
