THE GREATEST WORKOUT EVER: PHASE 2

A mix of Olympic, power lifting, and bodybuilding techniques that builds muscle, improves strength, and provides power in all sports. This one-week phase allows you to focus on the small but important muscle groups that act as stabilizers when you're doing big-muscle lifts like the ones in the previous phase. A week of tending to your stabilizers (rotator cuffs, deep abdominal and lower-back muscles, the muscles on the sides of your hips) while giving the big muscles a rest will help you keep all of your muscles strong and healthy. Lift slowly and deliberately, and try to feel the muscles working.
