COACH'S NOTES

-5 Dumbbell Front Squat (Or SUB)

-4 Lateral Hop Over Dumbbell (Or SUB)

-3 Toes to Bar (Or SUB)

Focus Points:

-Use the warm up to help establish both movement and loadings.

-The front rack poistion with the dumbbells can be a challenge so picking a weight that allows good positioning is key.

-If you don't trust yourself on the lateral hops under fatigue, perform the lateral hops with jumping over an object.

-The toes to bar should be performed in 1-2 sets max.

-Figure out what movement is going to challenge you the most and have a SUB in mind if you need to switch on the fly.
