>> Get ready to get Upcountry strong.
We are heading into a three-month percentage-based strength cycle comprising the bread-and-butter lifts, which we believe possess the most carryover: the squat, the press and the deadlift. The cycle will start in September. To prepare for this, we want to be realistic about where our strength is at currently, so we can find a proper starting point. This week, we will assess your three- or one-rep maxes in the lifts. If you miss a strength day, please make up for it. And it’s important that you record your lifts! We’re confident that you’ll be stoked on the results after three months. We can’t wait to see what you are capable of!
