*Rest 60-90sec between sets.
COACH'S NOTES
Primer:
-Perform 6-8 reps of Bench Press with and empty barbell (Or light weight).
-Work on establishing tension by staying tight even before you've intiated your lift.
Focus Points:
-5 Points of contact at all times. These body parts should remain in contact with either the floor or the bench for the entire ROM.
-Left Foot, Right Foot, Butt, Back (Shoulder Blades) and Head.
-Establish a consistent position below the chest where the bar makes contact with the body.
-Shoulder blades should remain down and back the entire time.
-Measure off your grip on both sides to allow for an even/balanced lift.
TEMPO = @41x1
-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 at the chest for.
-The third number/letter (x) simply means press at normal speed.

COACH'S NOTES
MOBILITY/ACTIVATION
Practice a couple reps of pullups and dips to help decide the option that is going to work for you.
Once you've decided your exercise options, perform some single unders/double unders with your jump rope.
-Make sure it's an option that for 10 rounds you have the ability to perform everything in 1-2 sets max.
Focus Points:
-Choose pullup and dip variations that are challenging for 5 reps but doable.
-If you choose your most challenging variation and have to break it into 2 sets to achieve 5 reps that's ok.
-Double unders need to be an option you can complete in 1 set.
-After your 10th round, go directly into a 1 mile run.
Goal:
-Aim to be under 12 minutes.
-Average time per round should be in the ball park of 1:00.

COACH'S NOTES
-Today's accessory is focused on building the arms and lats.
-These are very important muscle groups that will help assist with our heavier lifts like Bench/Rows.
-Perform each set and rest 60sec after each one. Complete all 4 sets before moving onto the next exercise.
-Each movement is an opportunity to work on mind muscle connection (focus on the muscle being worked).
-The weights for these movements are not important. The focus should be on striving for perfect form.
