Phase 3: Power (weeks 9-12), Session 1 of 2.
Objectives: In this phase we focus on developing power. Exercises are high in intensity with lifts performed in an explosive fashion. There is a decrease in the overall volume of the training session and rest times are relatively long between exercises. Extending the rest time will allow us to perform higher quality reps, focus on form and technique, and perform full-body movements.
