SPORT: W3W1 Strength Workout
By week 3 we should be hitting our stride. The first week is usually spent getting comfortable with the flow of the workout. The 2nd workout is usually spent finding a challenging weight. And now, we’re finally ready to increase the weight and hit some new personal records..
Here’s the workout:
- Trap bar deadlift 3 sets of 5 reps, adding weight each set until a heavy set of 5 is reached
- Barbell Bench Press 3 sets of 5 reps, adding weight each set until a heavy set of 5 is reached.
- Kettlebell Goblet Squat 3 sets of 8-10 reps*
- Dumbbell Row 3 sets of 8-10 reps*
- Beach Work**
*On these sets, we always keep 1-2 reps in the tank. That means we choose a weight that we can perform 12 reps, but we only do 10 PERFECT reps with it.
** Beach work is unique to you and your goals. Select 1-2 isolation exercises for a muscle group and perform 2-3 sets of 10-15 reps. So for example, if you’d like to improve your chest, you could choose cable crossovers and incline dumbbell flyes, performing 3 sets of each exercise for 12-15 reps. Or, if you’d like to focus on your butt, you could perform hip thrusts and hyperextensions, performing 3 sets of 12-15 reps of each exercise.
