Focus & Benefits

Builds upper-body muscle and strength through pulling, pressing and arm work while keeping the overall session controlled. The second half adds mobility, balance and trunk stability without turning Thursday into another conditioning day.

Pro Tip: Thursday is a good day to slow down. Make the loaded reps deliberate enough that the muscles do the work rather than momentum.
