***This week will look a bit different than a typical week. It’s an opportunity for you to reset after our last cycle. Then on August 13th, we will start a new cycle with the focus on improving relative strength, especially overhead, and continue to focus on developing aerobic capacity. Emphasis will be placed upon development of gymnastic skills as well as dedicated focus on positional work for the Olympic lifts. By the end of the cycle, athlets will feel well-rounded.***
