Tuesday TEST DAY! 20052025

Hey crew.

We're starting a new PRESSING cycle today and will be following a similar style program as we just did for our squats.

From HWPO:

In this 5 week cycle, we’re going to focus on increasing the Shoulder Press Strength.

The V-S-I system essentially splits up the strength sessions into 3 categories:

Volume

The volume sessions are lower intensity higher volume sessions that are designed to increase our endurance on the pressing movement pattern and helps us gain capacity in the range of motion. In the Volume sessions we will be performing supersets combining shoulder presses with other pressing / tricep dominant movements.

The goal with this is to increase our muscular endurance in the pressing mechanics and also offer some variety.

Speed / Unilateral

These sessions will be a mix of vertical and horizontal pressing and will also come in the form of supersets (not always). The movements will be more dynamic and higher velocity.

The goal of these sessions is to increase rate of force development (Their ability to produce force QUICKLY) but also make pressing more fun, varied and dynamic.

Intensity

The intensity sessions are the heavy sessions.

We'll have a great time with this one!
