• Nutrition Preparation:
  Ensure that you have quality foods prepared in the appropriate quantities to fuel your efforts for the remainder of the week.
• Mental Restoration:
  Different for everyone – could be quiet time, prayer or meditation or could be gathering with friends; the key is to engage in activities that make your life full and help you recharge your batteries.

• A:
  Every minute, on the minute, for 5 minutes:
  Front Squat
  *Set 1: 2 reps @ 60%
  *Set 2: 2 reps @ 65%
  *Set 3: 2 reps @ 70%
  *Set 4: 1 rep @ 75%
  *Set 5: 1 rep @ 80%
  Rest one minute, and then…
  Every two minutes, for 10 minutes (5 sets):
  Front Squat
  *Set 6: 85% x 1 rep
  *Set 7: 85-90% x 1 rep
  *Set 8: 90% x 1 rep
  *Set 9: 90% x 1 rep
  *Set 10: 90% x 1 rep
  For sets 6-10, let feel dictate loading. The goal is to establish today’s heavy lift. Heavy for the day is the load immediately before that at which you would lose proper mechanics and positioning. If you determine that you’ve reached that load for the day prior to set 10, stop there. You’ll have lots of opportunities over the upcoming weeks to hit new 1-RMs if and when your body is feeling good, so don’t push when your body isn’t responding to the stimulus.

  Power Clean + Clean + Jerk @ 75+% of 1-RM Clean & Jerk
  Goal is to build over the first 4-5 sets, then finish with the heaviest possible load for the final 5-6 sets.
