Week of 5/12/14 – Meet Week!

The programming will now be written to allow for more volume in the nightly session. We will be alternating movements and using rest intervals to finish the work. The sessions should still fit in a 90 minute window but the overall intensity of each workout should increase. Feedback is much appreciated! 

Note: This week will be a preparatory/deload week for the TCA meet on Saturday the 17th. Many of you are participating but even if you are not, the programming will be roughly the same as everyone is due for a deload.
