October 16, 2018 – Masters Program

**Transition Week**

Hey everyone! I just want to give major congrats to everyone on this past cycle! Lots of new PRs and I am seeing some awesome progress in everyones training.

This week will look a little different then our normal weeks. This is a transition week that leads us into the next cycle. The volume is a little less this week and you’ll notice a difference with the stimulus so that your CNS is well rested. Try to avoid adding additional volume. If you are doing the WZA Qualifier then please omit one of the training sessions in the program and substitute with the Qualifier event(s).
