6 Week Strength Cycle

So we just did the CrossFit Total last Monday. Now that we have a good idea of where we are strength wise, we are going to start a 6 week cycle to work on basic strength training. It will work like this:

Monday: Back squat

Tuesday: Press

Wednesday: Regular programming

Thursday: Back squat

Friday: Deadlift

If you miss any days you are welcome to make them up on weekends or double up Squats and presses if it fits. The Program will be very basic. it will go like this:

6 wk Havoc Cycle    Week 1         Week 2          Week 3        Week 4          Week 5             Week 6

Monday Squat          80% x 5 x 3   80% x 5 x 4   80% x 5 x 5   85% x 5 x 3   85% x 5 x 4      85% x 5 x 5

Tuesday Press        80 % x 5 x 3  85% x 5 x 3   80% x 5 x 5   90% x 5 x 2   80% x 5 x 6+     New Max

Thursday Squat       80% x 5 x 5   85% x 5 x 4   90% x 5 x 3   95% x 5 x 2   100% x 5 x 1      New Max

Friday Deadlift          75% x 5 x 5   80% x 5 x 4   85% x 5 x 3   90% x 5 x 2   95% x 5 x 1       New Max

The numbers are read sets x reps. Charts to keep track of your progress will be available at the gym.
