Sunday, July 3, 2011: Rest Day/New Programming Template

New Programming Template:

This will be a 5-week strength emphasis cycle with a Bulgarian flavor to it. There will be regular heavy front and back squatting, pressing during the week along with single maxes in both the snatch and C&J on Saturdays with one other movement in a 1RM. I will deadlift heavy every 8 days in a 5 rep/3 set fashion, excluding rest days, starting at 80% of my current 1RM of 425, adding 5 lbs to each workout. Any conditioning and secondary work will focus on body weight movements and/or running or swimming. On the last day of the cycle I will max on the snatch, C&J, Press, and Back Squat. I will continue with the deadlifts every 8 days, excluding rest, in the next cycle until I hit at or around my current 1RM. I will then retest my 1RM in the deadlift 8 days later from the last 5x3 workout.
