Week 3 of FB Simply Strong! Ask Yourself, “Why Not?”
Good morning FB Family!
Welcome to week 3 of FB Simply Strong 30 Day Team Program! We’re focused on supersets this week, pairing two exercises together with minimal rest between the two to maximize time-in-training and training load. Your day 15 workout is a lower body strength routine led by yours truly:
You’ll complete four supersets in this workout. Two of these supersets include agonist exercises (movement patterns that target similar working muscles) and the other two include antagonist exercises (movement patterns that target opposing muscle groups). Throughout the week you’ll see various agonist/antagonist superset pairings to give you a well-rounded total body challenge!
In this third week of training, you’ll most likely start working with your heavier weight loads. This increase in weights can feel intimidating or daunting but instead of shying away from your challenging weights, I want you to ask yourself, “why not?” Just go for it! You might have to return to your lighter weights or reduce your reps but neither of these options are a bad thing. Picking up the heavier weights gives both your mind and body the experience of those challenging loads. And honestly, you won’t know what this challenge feels like unless you try it (safely, of course). And remember – you’re HIIT workout and active recovery-inspired low impact cardio workout are just as integral to your progress. These two workouts supplement your muscle strength improvements and facilitate growth.
Before I let you go, let's take a quick look at the overview for Week 3 - the progressive overload focus this week is supersets:
I hope you enjoy the supersets focus this week! Let us know how you progress through the week in the comment section below. Are your “usual weights” starting to feel a little easier to lift?
