Warm Up
Dynamic Warm Up (7-10 minutes)
Back Squat (Light)
4 Sets
5-8 Reps
*Like the title says, these should be extremely light (40% max or a light loading).
*Rest as needed between sets.
COACH'S NOTES
Fire Hydrants Stretch - 5 reps forward and back each leg.
Focus Points:
-Today's Back Squats are programmed to get some blood flow into the legs without over stressing the muscles.
-Focus on the quality of each rep and dial in your fundamentals like breathing and bracing.
-The weight should be so light that you have the ability to pause in the bottom for a few seconds on each rep if you want to.
SUBS

-Dumbbell Front Rack Squat
-Air Squat (slow tempo)

COACH'S NOTES
MOBILITY/ACTIVATION
Today's Daily Sweat Workout is a "HERO" workout that is named after Philip Hayes, FDNY, Engine 217, retired, who was killed on September 11, 2001.
Deadlift Warm Up (Watch Video in Exercise Library)
-Gradually build to a working weight.
-Heaviest weight used for advanced athletes today should be 275 for men and 185 for women (De-Laod week).
-Take this rule into consideration when choosing your weights for the workout:
-Can I perform a deadlift with efficient form for 20 reps unbroken (in 1 set) with this weight?
-If the answer is yes, it's a good weight for the workout.
Focus Points:
-This workout is normally prescribed at 315/225. Keep in mind two different factors:
If you just came off a strength cycle we are de-loading this week.
It's VERY IMPORTANT to choose loadings that meet your standards as an indivual athlete.
-Choose weights on the deadlift that you have the ability to lift for 10+ reps unbroken when fresh (closer to 15-20 reps).
-This will be a perfect stimulus and loading for this workout. See beginners option as well:
Beginners Option:
Dumbbell Deadlift (Weight should be something you could perform 20 reps in a row when fresh).

COACH'S NOTES
MOBILITY/ACTIVATION
We are now on week 4 of our Murph Prep. This is a "Mini Murph" Variation. If you have a weight vest and plan on wearing a vest for the actual "Murph" workout on Memorial Day, now is a good time to start using it.
Focus Points:
-Quality movement for all repetitions.
-Pullups can be any variation you wish (strict, kip, jumping, butterly etc.)
-Puhsups need to be an option you can touch your chest all the way down but also be able to lock your arms out at the top.
-Air squats need to be as deep as your mobility allows with full ankle, knee and hip extension at the top.
-Move through this with quality as your intention, rather than how fast you can move.
Goal:
-Quality of movement is a top priority.
