In part 1, This is the Second week of our 8-week Base Camp strength cycle, where we'll make steady, methodical progress, preparing to peak for new one-rep maxes in August.After the third set each week, we’ll perform a drop set at 50% to challenge muscular endurance and trigger a growth hormone response. While completing this drop set, athletes should maintain continuous movement. Once they feel the need to pause or slow down, their set is done.
In part 2, Begin each 2:00 interval with a 200m run, then use the remaining time to accumulate as many single-arm devil press reps as you can. Choose a run distance that takes 1:00 or less, giving you equal time on the devil press.

Intended Intensity: RPE 7-8
Target Loading: Light-Moderate
Fitness Attribute Improved: Aerobic Power [VO2 Max]
Target Score: 60-120 Reps
Single-Arm Devil Press: Use a single dumbbell. With one hand on the dumbbell, burpee to the side of the dumbbell (chest must touch the ground), then stand up with the dumbbell and bring it overhead to a locked out position. Choose a weight that allows you to complete at least 8 devil presses each round. Alternate arms every rep.
"Press Up, not Back"
Common Fault: Pressing the bar straight up instead of back towards the rack.
Correction: Press up and slightly back towards your head for a stronger bar path.
This workout is meant to feel like interval work. Use the runs to bring your heart rate back under control so you can work hard on the devil press reps.
The run should be performed at an RPE 6-7 to ensure you complete the run under 1:00, but also regain control of your breath.
The devil press should be completed at an RPE 8.
