  Heavy deadlifts and conditioning circuits: Now, this sounds like a bad-ass day!Back | Main | Next
  Ever lifted 90 percent of your deadlift max before? If not, you're in for a treat. Deadlifts are tough on your nervous system. It takes a lot of work to pick up that much weight. But when you finish those sets, you'll feel like Superwoman.
  But hold on to your cape—you're not done yet. When you're done with the deadlift, move on to your circuits. Move as quickly as you can through both of them.

• Charlie Mike: Day 32 - Bench Press, Endurance

  Endurance is a crucial attribute of the ready-for-anything body. You don't need to be a marathoner or triathlete to reap the benefits of some long-form cardio!Back | Main | Next
  I don't care what type of endurance training you choose to do, but I do care that you do it. Finish your bench press, then hit the road, bike, or pool with equal enthusiasm for about an hour.
  The amount of ground you cover will depend on your level, but I want you to move for the entire time. Work at about 70-75 percent

  Show your muscles a little love today. Rest!Back | Main | Next
  If you decide to follow the two-days-on-one-day-off protocol, today is a rest day. If you'd rather keep going and perform tomorrow's workout, you can. However, it's essential that you get at least 2-3 days of rest per week.
