-Then gradually build to a starting weight.

Focus Points:

-Lets aim to lift heavier than the previous week.

-Measure your hand placement to ensure grip is equal on both sides.

-After placing the bar on the traps, take 1-2 steps back and establish your squat stance.

-Take a deep inhale and brace before descending in the squat.

-Keep your eyes fixed on a focal point straight in front of you.

-Torso should remain fairly vertical and your knees should track in line with your toes.

-Reset your breath at the top of each rep.

TEMPO = @42x1

-The first number (4) signifies how many seconds we lower the weight in the squat.

-The second number (2) signifies how many seconds we hold the weight in the bottom of the squat.

-The third number/letter (x) simply means stand at normal speed.

COACH'S NOTES

MOBILITY/ACTIVATION

Warm Up:

-Test out the hang clean with a light set of dumbbells and ask yourself if you could perform all 14 reps without setting the weight down.

-If the answer is yes, this is a great option. Understand it will get tougher as the 14 minute workout goes along.

-Follow each practice set up with some Toes to bar (Or SUB) and a form of cardio of athletes choice for 10-15sec.

Focus Points:

-Try your best to get into a rythm with this dumbbell hang clean so you can perform the reps in a continuous fashion.

-I would caution on the lighter side today to be able to sustain for 14 minutes in this workout.

-The toes to bar should be in 1-2 sets when performing a set of 7 total.

-During the run make sure you are focused on calm breathing and timing your exhales with every 3-4 strides.

-This will help keep a consistent pace for the workout.

Goal:

-Aim for a time per round of about ~ 3:00-4:00 (Or 3-4+ Rounds)
