Barbell Club 21-weeks

Posted 30th January 2022 by Jenna Fisher

The next Barbell Club phase will run for 20-weeks and will be followed by a 1RM test week.

Tuesdays – MAX day, lower body

Thursdays – MAX day, upper body

Saturdays – SPEED day, lower body

Sundays – SPEED, upper body

The 21-week program:

Barbell Club – 21-weeks from February 2022

After the core lift, really focus on strengthening the following:

Upper body: triceps, lats, front delts, core

Lower body: lower back, hamstrings, core, upper back

Remember, your bench will only be as strong as your triceps and lats; your squat will only be as strong as your lower back and core.

Aim to increase your strength in these by recording your load and trying to improve each week. If you focus on making your triceps as strong as possible your bench will improve. Same with the lower back and core for the squat, and so on.
