Fresh off getting #Jacked&Tan in the last cycle, the team jumps into their new training cycle, The BFS Cycle - Braver Faster Stronger. This cycle will have the team starting at a relatively high intensity, with much smaller linear progression increases than the Jacked & Tan Cycle. This cycle is meant to put heavy bars in the team's hand from the very beginning, and we intend on improving their courage at the top portions of the lifts. The first workout has them cleaning from the high blocks and snatching from a deficit. The clean movement is propioceptively shortened by the blocks, forcing them to have to increase their speed into the hole to catch the bar and eliminating the momentum from the pull. The deficit on the snatch lengthens the movement pattern, making a more pronounced first pull and focusing on strength through the hamstrings to stay over the bar. This generates a hamstring stretch reflex to accelerate the bar above the knee into the power position. Are you ready to get Braver Faster Stronger?! note: Rob is lifting funny cause he has a bruised pelvic bone...
