– Overview: This is the first week of our 8-week PowerBuilding Cycle. This cycle incorporates ten lifts and alternates between hypertrophy-focused (higher rep) and absolute strength-focused (lower rep) weeks, ensuring balanced development.

– Sets of 12 reps should be completed unbroken without dropping the bar. A rough estimate of where you might complete these reps is at 55-65% of your 1RM thruster.

– Though we’re building in weight, we’re not building to a max set. You should be able to move smoothly through all reps without pausing or grinding through the last few reps.
