Focus- Macro: Murph Prep- Expect to spend the month preparing for the Hero workout, Murph. You will see an increase in volume with movements like running, pull-ups, push-ups, and squats (not always together).- We will also test Cindy as a CAP benchmark.

- Use the first two sets to elevate your heart rate and increase range of motion.- Use the middle set to practice your technique with an empty barbell. Move slowly and focus on hitting the proper positions.- In the last 5 sets, increase the loading until you find your first working load.
- Welcome to week five of the 2025 Strength 1 lifting cycle. This is a deload week; 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.
Every 5:00 for 7 sets:3 push presses 2 push jerks 1 split jerk - Build in load each set.
Stimulus & Goals- Heavy overhead day with a technical focus following 2 days of couplets with hinging/flexion and running/squatting.- Overhead with a complex that requires technical proficiency and execution.- The push press is the gatekeeper of strength while the push jerk and split jerk will be very technique-dependent under fatigue. Strategy- Take this as an opportunity to focus on technique with the push jerk and split jerk. Focus on foot positioning and being consistent.ModificationsPush press | Load, shoulder press, dumbbell optionsPush jerk | Load, push press, dumbbell optionsSplit jerk | Load, push jerk, dumbbell options
