ABSOLUTE STRENGTH
STIMULUS
- Overview: This is the fourth week of our 10-week Fortify strength cycle. This cycle alternates between primary lifts (bench, squat, deadlift) and variations (strict press, front squat, sumo deadlift, push press, power clean, etc.) to keep movement patterns sharp while reducing overuse.

Weeks 1-4: Slow tempo reps at moderate load to improve durability
Weeks 5-8: Heavy 5-rep sets to develop raw strength
Weeks 9-10: Heavy 3-rep max tests to measure progress

- The barbell should come from a rack.

- Your torso and legs must remain static throughout the rep, and heels must stay on the ground.

- Bar must be locked out over your centerline overhead and return back to tap the front of the shoulder or clavicle in the bottom of your reps.

- Fitness Attribute Improved: Absolute Strength

AEROBIC POWER [VO2 MAX]
STIMULUS
- Overview: This high-intensity VO2 max workout is going to challenge your aerobic system and tax the shoulders, so be mindful of muscular fatigue and take smart breaks if needed.

- Choose a barbell weight that allows for unbroken reps each round and a jump rope variation that takes 40 seconds or less to complete.

- Intended Intensity: RPE 7-8

- Target Loading: Moderate

- Fitness Attribute Improved: Aerobic Power [VO2 Max]

- Target Score: 4-6 Rounds
STRATEGY
- Settle into a sustainable pace from the start. Keeping transitions smooth between movements and minimizing long breaks will make the biggest difference in your overall score.

- Push Jerks: Aim for unbroken reps as long as possible, so that you only have to clean the bar once.

- Double Unders: Stay relaxed and try to use more of your forearms/wrists rather than shoulders. We want relaxed, not tense, shoulders.

- Echo Bike: Aim for a hard, steady pace, but only push as long as you can get right back to the barbell within 10 seconds of finishing the bike.
