Summer Burn| Week 9 Day 4| Functional Strength + Core

Week 9 Progressive Overload: you can increase load this week if your body feels energized. If it feels a bit worn, utilize the deload week and keep weights consistent with week 6. (You should naturally be using more weight than week 3. You want your last 2-3 reps to be challenging) Week 6: Another repeat from last week! Since it’s a de-load week, you can keep weights the same or if your body feels ok, you can increase weight, adjust tempo on exercises or add 2-3 reps. Today is your strength day that transfers to your everyday life and well being. Be intentional about your reps, this is the day to use challenging weights to maintain strength you built while doing Grit. Focus on that mind muscle connection and really try to feel the muscles working to support the movement! If there is a compound lift or strength move you love (pistol squats, pull-ups, pushups, deadlift, bench press) this is a great day to add that in before you start the workout!
