The next 8 weeks we are focused on STRENGTH and being in tune with our bodies! We will prioritize working with out cycles instead of against it by manipulating our intensity and output. Everyone’s cycle is different obviously so I recommend TRACKING yours on a free app (I use my flo) to know what phase of your cycle you are currently in so that you can adjust your weight accordingly and make substitutions for exercises based on which phase you are in 🫶🏼 ⚡️PHASE 1 (MENSTRUAL CYCLE) - During this phase, I would like to keep strength training at an RPE of 6 out of 10. - Compound movements during this time, I like to use stabilizing machines. For example...    - Leg Press > Barbell Squat.    - Shoulder Press machine > BB Overhead Press    - Smith Machine Squats > BB Squat    - FOR MAIN WORKING SETS, REP RANGES BETWEEN 12-15-20 WILL BE THE GOAL ⚡️PHASE 2 (FOLLICULAR) - During this phase, I would like to keep strength training at an RPE of 7-8 out of 10. - Do some extended warm up sets (reps around 20 or so for 2 sets before pyramiding up in weight). Don't be afraid to hop on the assault bike or the skierg and get your heart rate up a bit before starting your session.    - FOR MAIN WORKING SETS, REP RANGES BETWEEN 8-12-15 WILL BE THE GOAL ⚡️PHASE 3 (OVULATION) - During this phase, I would like to keep strength training at an RPE of 9-10. THIS IS YOUR TIME - Don't neglect mobility and warm up - This is when we will shoot for strength PR's on Hip Thrusts, BB Squats, etc    - FOR MAIN WORKING SETS, REP RANGES BETWEEN 5-12 WILL BE THE GOAL ⚡️PHASE 4 (LUTEAL) - During this phase, I would like to keep strength training at an RPE of 5-6 out of 10. - Pick movements and activities that feel good for you during this time. Strength training is still fine, but do not be stubborn. Check yourself.    - FOR MAIN WORKING SETS, REP RANGES BETWEEN 15-20-25 WILL BE THE GOAL 💤REST DAYS: FEEL FREE TO MOVE AROUND AS NEEDED. Make sure to have at least 2 /week. Don’t have to be consecutive
