Warm Up
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+
-Consistency round to round.
