4x3 @42x1
*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 = @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 at the chest for.
-The third number/letter (x) simply means press at normal speed.

COACH'S NOTES
MOBILITY/ACTIVATION
Practice each exercise and make sure you have the capacity to complete the prescribed reps.
Focus Points:
-The double unders need to be performed in as little sets as possible so if you dont quite have that capacity consider using a SUB.
-The lunges should be alternating every rep. Keep the torso tall and bring feet together at a complete stand to finish the rep.
-The hand release pushups should be something you can complete at least 15+ in a continuous fashion. Use this to help determine your option.
-The toes to bar going directly into the pullups will challenge your grip. Caution on smaller sets here to keep moving.
-Doing a big set here will really fatigue the grip and it will make it harder to complete the movement.
-The last set of 10 cleans need to be a challenge but doable with good form while being under fatigue.
Goal:
Aim to be under 16 minutes for this workout. This will allow for some strategic breaks along the way and remember we should never be taking any of these sets to failure. Steady pacing is key to get under the time CAP and is completely doable.
