Strength and Conditioning Week 1

Some features in this mesocycle:

Squatting on Mondays during the regular CFI classes. It’s a 14-week squat cycle I programmed and used for the regular classes in late summer/early fall last year. It showed great results.
Pressing cycle on Wednesdays during the regular CFI class. This is a 7-week overhead pressing cycle I programmed. After the 7-weeks of overhead pressing we’ll do the same cycle with bench press (insert girly-sounding squeal here!!!).
Oly work three days per week. I’ll be drawing this work from Outlaw Barbell. Jared Fleming’s coach is writing the program there now and I really like his methods so far.
Strict handstand pushup density training once per week. I don’t care if you can do 518 consecutive kipping handstand pushups, you need to build the shoulder strength for strict handstand pushups as well.
Chest to bar pullup progression twice per week. This is to improve your butterfly kip technique and pulling strength.
