Sumo Deadlift (GOALS + GUIDANCE: Coaches will help you build to 90% of your 1 rep max. The sumo deadlift puts the most demand on your glutes and can either feel easier or harder than the traditional deadlift. Maintain the same weight across all four sets.)
Shoulder Press (GOALS + GUIDANCE: Coaches will help you work up 70% of your 1 rep max, and you’ll hold the same weight across all sets. Remember to keep your legs locked and abs engaged. Take two minutes between sets. Record your weight.)
Back Squat (GOALS + GUIDANCE: Coaches will help you build to 70% (which will be 5-10 pounds heavier than the last start of our lifting cycle) which you’ll hold across all four sets. Take two minutes of rest between sets. Record your weight.)
