Overhead Press (Week 4 of 5 Tempo Strength Cycle)

4x3 @42x1

*Rest 60-90sec between sets.

COACH'S NOTES

Lets try to lift a little heavier than the previous week as we will be performing less reps.

If this is your first week performing this strength cycle, choose a loading yu can control for the tempo.

MOBILITY/PRIMER

Arm Crossbody Stretch 1min/side

Using a light set of dumbbells, or empty barbell, perform 8-10 overhead press.

Focus Points:

-Position the barbell in the front rack (On the shoulders) before pressing overhead.

-Take a deep inhale and brace before pressing.

-If you struggle with the front rack position, perform a Child's Pose on Bench/Box to help open up your overhead position.

TEMPO = @42x1

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

-The second number (2) signifies how many seconds we hold the weight in the front rack for (On the shoulders).

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

-The fourth number (1) signifies how many seconds we hold the weight overhead before perfroming the next rep.

COACH'S NOTES

MOBILITY/ACTIVATION

Using a light weight, perform a few Push Press and a few Dumbbell Rows.

-Ask yourself if you could stay moving for the entire 45sec. If the answer is yes, it's a perfect weight.

Focus Points:

-We will be wokring for 45sec and then have 15 sec of rest or transition time.

-Keeping pace on our cardio station is key for today.

-Pick a pacing that is repeatable but will push you.

-The weight should be something you can continue to cycle the reps until you've reached the :45sec mark.

Goal:

Reps/Cals to aim for = 15-20+ reps on the dumbbells portion.

Cals on Row/Bike/Ski aim for = 8-15+
