Re: Specificity Alpha Loads

Those H days give you the chance to use more isolation type exercises. 65% of a bicep curl at that load and volume is less strenuous overall than 65% of a deadlift for that amount of load and volume. You are right in that these sessions will be hard and intense but hypertrophy work is. It might tak...

Re: Specificity Alpha Loads

Can anyone explain why the hypertrophy days in Specificity Alpha call for heavier loads than the other templates?

Operator and APFT

Good evening guys, Purchased and read TB about six weeks ago and I've been loving the Operator template (just finished week 5 - 85% week).
