October Program of the Month is brought to you by Performance Coach Nathan Barrett!

Full Body Density Program

This full body density program should be completed with a moderately heavy weight. The goal is to use 65%-75% of your 1 rep max for each movement. Be conservative with your choice of weight at the beginning of the program, as the extended number of sets will induce fatigue in the later part of the workout. The goal is to increase the weight by 2.5%-5% each week if all sets can be performed effectively with the starting weight. Rest when required for the 10 round circuit. Once you have completed the circuit rest for 3 mins and complete the remaining finisher/ superset.

Have a minimum of 48 hours rest between each program to promote effective recovery.
