Spring Training at Physiology First University: Day 7

Spring Training at Physiology First University-Day 6
Use the same weight for the incline bench as you chose in week one. The goal is now 10 reps instead of 8.

Use the conditioning ladder to practice maintaining nasal breathing under higher work loads.

Abs: 2x50 bicycle crunch. Same instructions as day 2. Don’t crane neck-work to rotate and reach across the body, palm to sole of opposite foot.
