Warm Up
Overhead Press (Week 1 of 5)
5x5 @RPE 6
*Perform each rep with a 3 second descend.
*Rest 90sec between sets
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.

Primer:
3 Rounds

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.
