This is a pivot point in the S2S100 training program. The exercises and workouts will be more intense. We’ll focus on developing speed, explosive strength and conditioning.
Week 7, was your break week. Hope you enjoyed it. There will be no more full week breaks.
Here’s a quick breakdown of what the program will entail for the next few weeks.
- most weight training will consist of supersets
- most conditioning will be developed through Tabata and other form of HIIT
- you must follow my nutritional rules
- more long distance running, sprinting and obstacle course training
- same muscle groups will be worked more than once a week
- more training days
Before We Get Started
Make sure you familiarize yourself with Tabata. I wrote an article about here.
You will also need to get a timer. If I’m doing training outside or switch spots often, I’ll use my Gymboss Interval Timer. Very easy to use and it clips onto your belt. Other times I’ll use an iPhone and iPad app called Seconds Pro. I’ve tried many others before, but this is probably the best one out there. It’s worth paying for it too. If you’re an Android user, I’m sure there aremany comparable apps for you too.
