Race Prep: Preseason Build - Part 2

Race Prep: Preseason Build - Part 2 is the second and final block of an 8-week series. This program is a 3-day, total body training split that further divides the workouts into Moderate, Heavy, and Light days (in that order and referring to intensity). This undulated approach allows the body to periodize volume and intensity on a daily and weekly basis. Each workout consists of 11 movements, and the program implements a 3-week loading scheme with a fourth week deload. Over the entire 8-week series, athletes will develop strength in foundational patterns like sumo and traditional deadlifts, increase hip stability and the build the posterior chain, and focus on total body balance. This program picks up where Part 1 leaves off, incorporates new movements while developing the foundational patterns, and continues to build strength leading up to the competitive season - get ready to lift heavy!
