THE DRILLS LISTED BELOW ARE ALL IN THIS PROGRAMS VIDEO LIBRARYMADE BY ALBERTUS BARBER + JOSH GESSNERNEED REMOTE PROGRAMMINGTHE 5TH WEEK AND THE 9th WEEK ARE AN AUTOMATIC WEIGHT ROOM DELOAD. THIS MEANS WE WILL REMOVE 10-20 PERCENT EFFORT
AND 1 SET ON ALL OF OUR LIFTS. WE NEED TO RECOVER TO SUPER COMPENSATE, AND THROW HARDER.

THROWING DELOAD=AUTOMATIC WEIGHT ROOM DELOAD

LIFTING SHOULD ONLY BE DONE AFTER HIGHER INTENT THROWING DAYS. THIS MEANS DAYS HIGHER THAN
70%. So if you throw above 70% Monday, Wed, Fri- then you would lift after the throwing on those days- NEVER BEFORE

YOU WILL ONLY DO 3 LIFTS PER WEEK. THE STRENGTH PHASE WILL BE DONE FOR THE FIRST 4 WEEKS, AND ON THE 5th WEEK YOU
WILL DELOAD, AND THEN SWITCH TO THE POWER PHASE. THIS MEANS YOU WILL ONLY DO THE POWER LIFTS, AND NO MORE STRENGTH
LIFTS. THE POWER PHASE WILL BE DONE THE REMAINDER OF THE PROGRAM.

the 60-75 percent day on your sheet, and do those drills that day. So you would be doing Wedensdays drills on that Monday
