Performance week

Clean and jerk: 80%* x 3+1 x 3

Rack jerk: 80%* x 3 x 3

Stop squat: 80%* x 5 x 3

Romanian deadlift: 80% (of back squat) x 5 x 3

*Go up on the last two sets if possible. Push it, but only to what you can do with solid reps.

Well, I hope everyone got recovered last week, because it's going to get HEAVY again this week! This is the last and heaviest week of this 4-week mesocycle: performance week. It will be heavy triples and fives all week. Hopefully the compensation week last week has everyone recovered a bit and ready to realize some of the strength and technique gains we've all made over the three weeks. This is the week to push it a bit. If that first set at 80% feels solid, go up in weight for the next set. If that second set feels solid, go up a little more for the third. Note that this is not "3 rep max" week. You only get 3 sets, and we don't want to push to failure and miss a bunch of reps. We want to make good solid reps, but we want them to be HEAVY!
