COACH'S NOTES

MOBILITY/ACTIVATION

-Gradually build to a working weight while maintaining good form.

Focus Points:

-A continuous rhythm on the box jumps is key.

COACH'S NOTES

Today we are foucsed on complimenting the bench press and improving it through these isolation exercises.

-Having strong lats allows for a good base and platform in our bench press setup hence the supinated rows.

-The floor press is improving a specific range of motion to help improve our top half of the bench press.

-The floor press will also help practice without having momentum out of the bottom.

-The hollow rocks are there to connect everything together. Having a strong midline/core will ensure we transfer our energy efficiently.
