T2 WOW 2024-03-18


Mighty Tribester! You. Are. Incredible! And so is this week of training because we are going to intensify just a bit. You’re doing great with a very comprehensive exercise mixology and expressing excellence in your movement patterns. At least I know this is true with those who have communicated recently and I always encourage everyone to reach out to me at any time.

 

This week’s changeups will appear subtle, but they will require a relatively high degree of CNS output. That’s because we are going to full failure, or RIR 0 in our 6th and final set of each of the primary exercises in Workouts A and B. Plus, the minimum number (serving suggestion) of circuits in Workout C has now moved to 6. This is fairly intense effort across the board. I don’t often push you this hard, but I know you are both ready and eager for it.

General advice for all workouts: This week’s escalation goes to full, momentary muscular failure in the major lifts. You don’t have to sniff smelling salts, slap yourself in the face, and scream “I am the greatest,” (but you could)...just go to the point where you cannot complete another rep with good form. This creates a significant stimulus for muscle growth and strength development. We had to earn the right to do this safely, and now you are here. Enjoy going a little Barbarian.
