Warm Up / Mobility

Dynamic Warm Up (Full Body 7-10mins)


Clean Complex

Power Clean + Hang Clean

*Rest 60-90 sec between sets.

*Build across sets.

COACH'S NOTES

-Today's clean compex is about being able to hang onto the weight and perform the entire complex.

-If this is a fairly new movement for you, conisder using a pvc pipe or broomstick and that will get you started.

-Really focus on the fundamentals of moving well. The weight will come with time.

Focus Points:

-Aim to have fast feet and quick elbows in the catch.

-Your speed needs to carry over in both of the lifts.

-Going too heavy on this complex defeats the purpose of moving fast.

-Treat this as skill work and not a max out session (I'm speaking to the advanced lifters).

-The hang clean needs to be anywhere above the knee and finish with a full squat.

2 Burpee Box Jumps (Or SUB)

4 Dumbbell Thrusters (Light) (Or SUB) *Build to a working weight across the 3 sets.

Focus Points:

-Pick a dumbbell weight on the thrusters that allows you to go unbroken but is a challenge.

-Think about breathing and keeping a steady pace here. No need to try and rush them.

-Pacing on the bike is key and try to use it as an active recovery without burning yourself out too quick.

-The burpee box jumps should be a continuous pace or as best as possible.

-Using a step down is recommended.

Goal:

1:30-2:00 per round average is a good pace to aim for.

COACH'S NOTES

FOCUS:

-Today our accessory work is designed to have a little fun and chase the arm pump on a Saturday.

-Not only is it designed to have some fun, but it is equally balanced with both triceps and biceps movements.

-Push to a point where to can barely do another rep. Slow your tempo down if you're limited on weight.

Barbell Curls

-Position your hands just outside of your thighs with palms facing forward.

-While bracing the core and squeezing the glutes, hinge at the elbows curling the bar up towards the shoulders.

-Slowly lower the bar under control and perform the next rep before your elbows reach full extension to help maintain tension.

Close Grip Pushups

-Begin in a pushup position on the floor with the thumbs as close together as possible.

-The mechanics here are similar to a regular pushup in that we want our knees, hips and shoulders to remain in a straight line as we lower and as we press out.

-Strive to touch the chest to the tops of your hands and press to lockout the arms at the elbows finishing the rep.

-Repeat this for the desired number of reps.

Dumbbell Hammer Curls

-Begin with a set of dumbbells at your side and palms facing in.

-While keeping the arms close to the rib cage and bracing the core, curl the weight up towards the shoulders by hinging at the elbows.

-Slowly lower the weight back down and repeat for the desired amount of reps.

Dumbbell Tricep Overhead Extensions

-Hold a dumbbell overhead in a vertical fashion.

-Begin with arms extended and the weight over your head.

-Slowly lower the weight down towards your shoulder blades and then extend back up overhead to complete the rep.
