The reason for this is, starting in April we will be starting the 5/3/1 program from Jim Wendler. These are the 4 basic strength movements everybody should be strong at. We will also be practicing alot on the Olympic lifts, starting light and working our way up to handling weight.

  3. I am back dating this comment because the after effect was unforgettable..my calves were sore a week! My time was 7:42, I did not write down a weight for the back squats, so I am assuming I did the bar. This was a fun workout, till I had to walk "the day I mean week after."
