March Training Cycle: Athletic Power

Stack 2 increased our strength, intensity and belief in our body's abilities, Stack 3, the final training cycle,will put it all together: balance, speed, and strength to challenge your athleticism with some of the toughest workouts yet.  These explosive movements challenge different muscle fibers and energy systems, keeping your body/muscles/abilities/fitness progressing.  The more muscle the less fat.
Cardio: shorter distance/time intervals at high intensity speeds, hills or both at the same time.  Sprint up that hill!
Examples: 30 sec-2 min, 80-100% speeds, medium-steep hill levels, etc.

Strength: big multi-joint movements, plyometrics, combining cardio and strength at a faster  pace 1:1 count, working with high resistance at low-moderate repetitions (6-10 men, 8-12 women) and use of Density Circuits, which fix the reps and time and go for max sets. 
Examples: kettlebell swing, full clean and press, wood choppers, snatches, burpees, band speed curls/extensions/flies, shoulder press jumping jack, plyo push-ups (hands leave ground), suspension ab swings/pikes, etc.
