The Alpha Male Challenge – Week 7
We did the last “Strength Max” wave workout today and I’m really feeling it. The emphasis was on doing 3 sets x 6 reps – but this week there was only 2 minutes rest per set. We also had to do a couple of drop sets in each workout. These were tough, as each drop set was performed on the third set… with legs and arms that were already fried from the first two sets.
Today’s workout focused on quads and shoulders… I’m whipped.
Nonetheless, these last 3 weeks were actually my favorites – I thought they were pretty productive. Not surprisingly, I’m also a little more tired after workouts now, than I was in the earlier weeks. It’s a good thing that there are only two more weeks left to the program, and these will have a different emphasis (”Power Up”) – I’m juuuust about ready for a training break.

It sounds like a break would be good for you after this. It sounds like this workout is both physically and mentally taxing.
Enjoy the next two weeks, then enjoy a well deserved break!!

Yes it is. We’re doing the “Level A” workout, which pushes the limit on the number of sets per workout (30 – 36). Not all of these are “pedal-to-the-medal” of course (up ’till now, for example, the plyo work hasn’t been particularly time-consuming nor hugely taxing), but I feel pretty beaten up by the end of a workout.
But there are elements here that will be good to incorporate into future workouts, so overall, I’m glad I did it (so is John).
