*Rest 90sec between sets

RPE SCALE CHART.png


COACH'S NOTES

-Today's intensity = RPE 6

Rate of Perceived Exertion and the 6 simply means that you should feel like you could have done another 4 repetitions when you have completed your set.

This is week 1 of our new strength cycle.

-Perform a few sets of an overhead press with an empty barbell or light set of dumbbells.

-Slowly begin to add weight until you are at your first set.

Focus Points:

-Elbows slightly in front of the bar.

-Deep inhale and brace before pressing.

-Finish the rep in a stacked position: weight needs to be directly over the shoulders in the lockout.

-Squeeze the glutes while bracing the core.

COACH'S NOTES

COACH'S NOTES MOBILITY/ACTIVATION

Primer:

3 Rounds

3 Devil's Press (Or SUB) - Light

6 Box Jump (Or SUB)

15 Seconds on Bike (Or SUB)

Focus Points:

-The Devil's Press should be a loading you can move consistently with but doesn't stop you from moving.

-The box jumps will eleavted the heart rate so being able to minimize this is key, stay steady with your pace.

-The bike should be at a pace that is slightly uncomfortable but you can repeat the pace for 16 minutes.

Goal:

-Aim for 2:30-3:30/Round and no higher. If you are above this, use a SUB.

COACH'S NOTES

We are now on week 5 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.)

-Pushups 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.
