Week 3: Stability Under Fatigue

Lesson Overview

Day 3 is where everything comes together.

This session integrates lower body, upper body, posture, and core while asking you to maintain quality under fatigue. The goal is not to rush — it’s to move well, breathe steadily, and finish the week feeling capable.

This is strength that carries over into real life.

Week 3 Training Standards (Track 1)

  • Tempo: Controlled on all lifts

  • Lowering phase: ~3 seconds

  • Rest:

    • Main lifts: 60–90 seconds

    • Assistance lifts: 45–60 seconds

  • Load: Increase only if Weeks 1–2 felt repeatable

  • Goal: Clean reps and posture late in the workout

If posture slips, slow down — don’t push harder.
