Week 7 - Heavy
Heavy days, you want to make sure you are getting 3-4 minutes rest between sets to ensure you have enough recovery time to hit it hard again in the next set.
Exercises notated with both numbers and letters (e.g., 5a. Crunches and 5b. Planks) are to be performed as a superset. For these, complete the reps for exercise "a" immediately followed by the reps for exercise "b" before resting and completing the prescribed number of sets.
