1h 1m
This week we move into the 3rd phase of our GPP and this see's us starting to load the tissues and exercises with more of an eccentric focus. This simply means we slow down the phase where the target tissues are lengthening under load. This is a great way to keep the strength gains progressing as well as building some growth. We're back to squat, lunge and push patterns and we'll also be building in some rotation work too.
EQUIPMENT:
- A Mat
- A Chair/Stool (or similar)
- A Medium Size Dumbbell/Kettlebell.
- A Light Pair of Dumbbells/Kettlebells.
- A Pillow (optional).
