Barbell Club 2017 – Phase 4

Jenna Fisher | 26-03-2017
It has been great to hear the results you achieved during the last phase. Since it has been fairly heavy high volume the exposure will change for this phase before returning to old school bodybuilding next month. The start of each session will be low volume strength sets.

Jenna Fisher | 04-12-2016
After November’s lower rep heavier phase you should have developed some extra strength for December’s return to volume. This month the reps are higher and the rest lower.

Jenna Fisher | 06-11-2016
The last phase was a high volume, hard, sweaty slog. You all did an amazing job and it made me so proud to see how you have all developed this year.  To maximise that development before hitting the volume again the next phase will focus on lower reps so that you can expose your body to heavier weight.
