Spartan Beast Training Plan: Day 8 - Pulling

Spartan Beast Training Plan: Day 8 - Pulling

Week 1 is always the toughest, Spartan. Congratulations on making it through. You are now committed and well on your way to becoming a Beast.

This week, we’ll take the foundation we built last week, and add significant strength. Our weight should be increasing while our repetitions decrease. You will aim for the same level of Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE), but you should be reaching that rate much sooner in a set. This will be our theme for the week.

Today, we pull.
