Important Information
The updates, additions, and/or changes from Week 1 to Week 2 are found in bold. Particulars that are not in bold are the exact same prescription as Week 1. You will see that we’ve added just a little bit of training stress to each day of training. This trend will continue each week; we will modify the program just enough to keep things progressing (and keep you interested), but not so much that it’s impossible to objectively measure progress or that it leaves you confused every week. Your confidence with the program will increase weekly as your performance does, as you will become more familiar with the training. This is on purpose! 🙂
Exercise Demonstrations
Follow the links below for a video demonstration of each new exercise. See previous posts for demonstrations of the other exercises.
