(Murph Prep and Continued Base Building)

We’re closing in on the second half of our ‘base strength and endurance’ phase. That means we’ll be seeing some harder efforts over the next few weeks, with longer workouts and high reps, to keep pushing the foundation that allows us to stack up our abilities. Not to forget we’re getting plenty of Murph prep involved! Perfect timing with what we’re focussing on, high reps and lots of work, as Murph is coming up on the 29th May, which is the second week that we’ll be retesting a handful of what we got stuck into at the start of April. If you want to see exactly what we’re working towards and re-testing, then continue reading!

As for our build and weightlifting classes, we’ll of course continue building for the benchmarks we set out in April. As for these, we’ll be testing and retesting at the end of the 8 weeks - so we’ll be seeing all of the below on the weeks commencing 22nd and 29th May.
