- Welcome to week five of the 2025 Strength 1 lifting cycle. This is a deload week and then next week, we will test our 1-rep clean and jerk.- Use a recent max or heavy single for your percentages.- If the percentage calls for more than a single rep, they are meant to be completed as unbroken, touch-and-go reps.- Rest as needed between percentages and waves.
