This is a re-test of the 3×10 strict press from Week 1. The goal is a modest 5-10lb (2.5-5kg) increase across the board. A PR is a PR on strict pressing, and small improvements here are the expected and celebrated outcome. Athletes should start at a load they are confident completing all 10 reps with strict mechanics: no knee bend, no soft legs, vertical bar path, rib cage down, glutes engaged. If an athlete did not complete Week 1, have them build to a challenging but manageable 3×10 and log it as their baseline. The 3:00 window gives enough time to load, execute, and breathe fully before the next set.
Modifications:
Level 1: Every 3:00 x 3 Sets, 10 Strict Press at a moderate, consistent load around 6-7/10 RPE; prioritize position over loading and record the load for future re-testing
Hotel Gym / Travel: Every 3:00 x 3 Sets, 10 Dumbbell Strict Press, building to a repeatable 3×10 and logging the load

Primary Objective: Big sets from the start and hang on, especially on toes-to-bar and kettlebell swings where grip accumulates fastest.
Secondary Objective: Maintain consistent pacing and quick transitions between movements across all four sets, using the :45 rest to recover hands, not to recover from poor pacing choices.
