Rotational Core Power

The week at a glance

• 3 sessions · 3 rounds · full rest between moves.
• Russian twists — owns day one — double its work time on the final round.
• Day three is a quality run: film yourself, check the cues on page seven.

The rule of week one

• You are not chasing fatigue. You are teaching positions. Fatigue comes free later.

The progression

• 4 rounds per session · rest drops 5 seconds per move.
• Add the finisher: last move, one extra round, nothing left.
• Plank rotations — becomes your finisher — it decides whether the session counted.

The overload

• Same rounds as week two — but every work interval is done at fight pace.
• Two quality sessions + one test run. The test run is timed and logged.
• This is the week most people quit. The book knows. Page nine is built for it.

The taper

• 3 rounds, crisp and fast — volume drops, speed stays.
• Two sessions only. The freshness you feel by Friday is the adaptation arriving.
• End the week with the benchmark test on page ten.
