                                            2025 Programming CYCLE 8
Incredible job on the previous cycle. I think it’s safe to say that running has improved across the board and it was incredible to see the energy last week during Front Squat and Back Squat 1RM testing. Congrats to everyone who achieved a new PR!
The next cycle includes a MAJOR focus geared towards overhead strength and positioning. We will be utilising overhead PRESSING movements such as strict press, push press and push jerk frequently throughout this cycle to build our upper body strength and refine our overhead positions. In addition, we will be taking advantage of that new leg strength from the previous cycle to prepare for our MINOR focus, which is the infamous Hero workout CHAD. You will also see a variety of tempo squat work throughout this cycle to build explosiveness. 
Speaking of explosiveness, our GYMNASTICS focus for this cycle is plyometrics. Prepare to see more explosive jumping, hopping and rebounding styled movements to increase our speed and power output when it comes to explosive strength. 
Things to remember:
FOCUS
Major: Overhead Press
Minor: Chad prep / Bodyweight
