So, we're entering a "De-load" week, meaning the workouts will be less intense and we won't be pairing as many heavy strength sessions along with a METCON in the same day. This is to give our bodies a bit of a break before we enter into our next cycle, which is a "Power Endurance" cycle. We will be in this cycle from August 12-October 13.
In the words of Michele Letendre (The programmer for HWPO Affiliate):
Goal: Increase athletes' ability to produce submaximal force over a longer period of time or over more volume.
This Power Endurance phase is about getting our members exposed to more volume of power specific olympic weightlifting and increasing their resistance to fatigue both in power output and in technique.
It’s also important to understand what POWER is. We’re looking to increase an athlete's ability to produce force QUICKLY relative to an external object (barbell in this case).
Power Endurance has us implementing limited rest and a controlled percentage in the hopes of increasing their work capacity and maintaining their technique at a relatively heavy load for the volume requested.
