WARM UP VIDEO


Overhead Press (Week 5 of 5 Tempo Strength Cycle)

4x2 @43x1

*Rest 60-90sec between sets.

COACH'S NOTES

This is our final week of our tempo strength cycle and this should be our heaviest weight so far.

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 = @43x1

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

-The second number (3) 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

-Perform a few reps of each movement so that you can better determine loadings and exercise choice.

-After performing a few reps, ask yourself if it's doable for 45 seconds without stopping.

-If the answer is yes, it's a perfect weight and exercise choice for this workout.

-If not, use a SUB where needed.

Focus Points:

-Choose options that allow you to maximize movement for 45sec.

-Have a SUB in mind when your initial option becomes too difficult so you can quickly transition.

-Relax the grip where possible.

-Steady reps/pace round to round is key.

COACH'S NOTES

Today's accessory is focused on building our lats and delts.

-On the row focus on keep a neutral spine position and really letting your lats do the work.

-Make sure we aren't going too heavy to quick on these. Form should be a priority.

-On the upright row, in the top position think about your shoulder blades finishing downa and back.

-The elbow should not be pointing high, it's ok to kind of tuck your elbow in the top to allow for a safer shoulder position.

-The I,Y,T's can be done with any light weight or no weight at all.
