Capacity Code: Week 7 Program

Week 7 Program

Important Notes: 

  • The goal from last week is to either: add more weight or use the same weight and increase the reps. Once you reach the top end of the rep scheme, increase the weight.

  • Each set should be taken to failure.

  • If there isn’t a given rest, rest as long as you need.

  • When working towards a top set. Perform warm up sets of 5 building to the weight that you will use for the set.

  • A superset means you perform both movements back to back without resting between them!
