Week 3 - D01

Rest - Day

🎯 Upcoming week
BUILT BY WOD-SCIENCE 🚀
------------------- INFO -------------------
This week includes a few key adjustments to optimize performance and recovery:

Strength blocks are now separated — more time and focus per lift instead of supersets. You may find you can push a little heavier with better control.
Group B: Strength sessions have been repositioned to improve recovery and balance overall training load.
Metcon RPEs have been updated — keep an eye on the intended RPE.
--> For Group B: The second metcon will feel slightly easier to help manage fatigue and reduce overtraining risk.
Train smart. Move well. Let’s get after it! 💥
Week: 3 of 10
Load: Moderate
Focus: You're now in the groove—Week 3 continues to push intensity while refining positions and consistency. Stick to the intended RPEs, stay sharp on technique, and trust the process.
Monday: REST
Tuesday: Gymnastics + Lower Strength
Wednesday: Conditioning
Thursday: REST
Friday: Olympic + Upper Strength
Saturday: Conditioning
Sunday: Zone 2
