NOTES
This is the second week of the basic strength phase so weights should be bumping up a bit. The good rule of thumb still applies:
Start where you left off last week with weight.
Once you finish the set, if you feel like you could have done 2 more - then up the weight by 10 pounds per side for legs and 5 pounds per side for upper body.
The goal is to reach failure by the third set and push through it into the 4th.
Make sure to take the full 1:30 rest in between sets. This is critical for the strength work.
On the Deadlift - great rule of thumb: your backside is in the middle between your shoulders and your knees. Keep your back neutral and spine straight.
On the Pull ups - do as many as you can each set and then shift to the Bar Pull ups you learned in the last phase.
