🔷 Here comes August along with Week 5 of the Oly and Gymnastics Cycle! We started pulling from the ground again last week and will continue that this week with heavier loads. These should still be quality lifts but feeling easier than before.
🔷 Stay consistent this month and work hard as we’ll be re-testing those Oly lifts (the Snatch + Clean & Jerk) at the end of the month! You will continue to see gymnastics volume strength workouts through the month as well.
