Strict Press 5x5 @70-80%

FOCUS:
Maximal Strength is the goal for this cycle on Strict Press
Building Strict Pull-ups…go weighted if you can
Record your weight for each set, there is an extra spot to record weight on pull-ups if need it
WORK/REST RATIO:
Recommend doing both movements every 2:30 for 12:30
SCALING:
Negative Pull-ups are a great option (VIDEO)…jump to get chin over the bar, 3-5 second count on the way down
This can also be a time to help those get the proper band and educate on how to select one as the reps increase over this cycle
