Hey Team,
Now that the madness is (almost) over, it is time to get serious again with our training…which means we will be rolling out of our ‘holiday’ based program (simple strength progressions and metcons) and into something that aims a little ‘higher’.
2023 will kick off with a SEVEN (7) WEEK Oly lifting cycle that will focus on the power variation of both Snatch and Clean and Jerk whilst also incorporating a heap of barbell cycling within the conditioning components.
Our plan is to really hit the ground running in 2023 with a real focus on developing speed and power…so let’s get ready to go!
Weekly Overview
| (1) Snatch Day (1) Clean Day (1) Deadlift Day (1) Squat Day (Overhead – Front – Back) (1) Bench Day (Incline – Decline) |

As always – please send through any questions you might have to me: michael@round1fitness.com.au.
And – again – PLEASE remember to track your weights and performances in SugarWOD. Whilst ‘thinking’ that last time you did it you used 60kgs is 100% a cool way to track your progress, being able to quickly and easily check it in SugarWOD is WAAAAYYYY better…look after the little things team!
See you in the gym,
Michael.
