A month into this strength block and everyone should still be rocking and rolling and adding weight every time they get under the bar. One principle, out of the many I have, is to start light. This tends to freak some people out as they feel they will become weaker. However most people have been spinning their wheels in the weight room and not making gains at all anyway so setting them up for success is easy when we start light. This leaves ample time to get strong, whereas if they start too heavy they will stall and regress sooner than later. Other trainers call it an "ego check", I call it training smart.
Training:
Squat 5x3
Press 5x3
Pull-ups 3 x 8
