Sunday DEC, 20th: Week 1 Die Hard is the best Christmas movie, but don’t forget Gremlins.
**We have a slight programming option change starting this week. The Blue Tier now has its own programming for the major lift. Blue will now be a body builder scheme. Red tier, the foundational strength tier, and the White tier, the powerlifting tier, will both remain unchanged.**
-Anyone following the 4 day routine should do the active rest. Whether they do the Sabado Gigante on the weekend is case by case depending how they feel from the week’s worth of work. Don’t over do it. The Sabado Gigante often overlaps things done during the week. It's also very aggressive programming. When in doubt, push or drag sleds and do some curls.
-Afterburners: These are optional conditioning pieces of the programming. Whether a person completes this is dependent on their goals and calorie intake. If actual sustained strength and mass is the goal, the afterburners should not be done. At least not without increased calorie count to accommodate the extra effort. That being said, some sustained sweat should happen at least once a week. That is the active rest on Wednesday.
Additionally, some of the movements in the Afterburners are not found in the GainCity accessory work. If a person wants to get those movements in for accessory but doesnt want to overdo the sweats, just take the movements and rep counts out of the afterburner and do them like regular accessory sets/reps.
