Day 5 and 6 - Rest and Strength

Day 5 you will need to rest if you did the dynamic workout on day 4. Simply put, the amount of core stability that you used there is enough to really fatigue your muscles for a couple days, and day 6 is a strength day, so you will need everything you have. I, personally, did my workout this morning and was still sore from day 4, so take your time.

Day 5 strength is a step up day in weight. Remember that progressive overload is essential, even if you don't feel like it. Believe me it works, so when you step under that squat bar, your body is ready for the challenge of an extra 20 lbs. If you really struggled the last cycle, you can stay at the same weight, but don't make a habit of it. And next step up day it has to change. In fact, I moved up my lat pulldown today after not doing so last step up day.

Here is the workout:

2 sets of 5

Back squat (315)
Incline Bench Press (205)
Deadlift (225)
Front Pulldown (262.5)
Power Clean (185)
Push Press (135)

Get stronger today!
