New Cycle Alert! Happy May Ya’ll, new cycle starting today, this will be a olympic lifting and squat focused cycle, it will be variable each day, so some days it could be Snatch, other days it could be back squat. The XT program will be written independently from the main class strength, very similar to the way it’s been the past 3 weeks. The main movement will be the same, but the sets and reps could be different. For the XT program we will also be implementing the RPE system, enjoy!

10 - 0 more reps, 0 more weight. True max

9.5 - 0 more reps, but could add more weight
