Deload Week isn’t downtime — it’s smart strength programming. Discover why this crucial week helps your body recover, prevents injury, and sets you up for new PRs. Learn how to approach each day of this week’s workouts to stay moving and maximize your gains.

We’re nearing the end of our 5x5 strength phase at Lift Legion. This week, it’s time to push heavy and go for those PRs. Next week, we enter a deload week — a chance to recover, rebuild, and set the stage for even greater gains. Learn why deloads are essential to long-term progress.

We’ve shifted from high-rep burnout to focused intensity with 5x5 strength training. In this phase, fewer reps mean more power, more precision, and serious gains. Learn why 5 reps is all you need to build real strength, how 2-minute rests boost performance, and what to expect as you lock in your form and numbers for Week 2.

Big lifts, short rests, and serious grit—MusclePump pushed every member to the edge. And a few went beyond. This cycle’s King Kong Status was earned by Jamie Snodgrass, Briana Cruz, Christelle Scott, Cooper Pawley, and Kelli McAllister. They didn’t just show up—they led from the front.

The 5x5 Strength Phase is here. Heavy lifts, focused rest, and intentional accessory work to help you build serious power. Learn how to fuel your body, approach each workout with purpose, and get the most out of every set. This is where strength is built—one rep at a time.

Get ready to feel the burn—our 3-week Muscle Pump Phase is here. High reps, low rest, and strict control make this phase a game-changer for building strength and mental grit. Start each set on time, move with intention, and embrace the challenge. No 2 p.m. class for now, but we’ve got your back if you need it.
