Warm Up / Mobility

Dynamic Warm Up (Full Body 7-10mins)


Deadlift (Week 3 of 5)

4x4 @42x1

*Rest 60-90sec between sets.

COACH'S NOTES

-This week lets aim to lift slightly heavier than the previous week.

-With that being said, we need to hold ourselves accountable to sticking to the correct tempo.

Primer:

3 Rounds:

3 Goodmornings

3 Light Deadlifts (Progressively build to a light/mod starting weight)

Focus Points:

-Pull the slack out by creating tension before you pull.

-Deep inhale and stay tight before lifting the weight.

-Keep the bar path close to your body for the entire range of motion.

-Initiate the descend by leading with your hips back first.

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 bottom position with the weight on the floor.

-The third number/letter (x) simply means stand at normal speed.

-The fourth number (1) signifies how many seconds we hold the weight in the standing position before performing the next rep.

3 Sets as a primer increasing speed on the rower each round:

-10sec Single Arm Overhead Carry (10sec/side) - (Or SUB)

-4 Slam Balls (Or SUB)

-10sec on Rower (Or SUB)

Focus Points:

-Since there is built in rest in this workout, it is important that we put forth an effort that is deserving of that rest.

-There should be no pacing on the rower and it should be an all out effort each round.

-Give it what you got in order to achieve the intended stimulus for this workout.

-Make sure the weight is stacked directly over the shoulder with the elbow locked out.

-For the slam balls, reach full extension and exhale as you slam making sure you engage the core.

COACH'S NOTES

FOCUS:

-Today's accessory work is designed to work the posterior chain (Glutes, hamstrings, lower back).

-We've also added in some calves to isolate the lower extremity.

-To help compliment the lats following up our deadlifts today, we are doing some supinated dumbbell rows.

Split Stance RDL

-With a set of dumbbells in hand, stagger your stance with one foot back.

-The back leg should have a slight bend while the front should be fairly straight.

-Slowly lower the weight while keeping the shoulder blades down and back and back flat.

-Hinge at the hips keeping the legs in their same positioning. Use the glutes to stand and repeat.

Calf Raises on Plate

-Use an elevated surface like a plate and place the balls of the feet on it.

-Your heel should start on the floor.

-Slowly press through the balls of your feet until your completely extended at the ankle.

-Hold this top position for 1-2seconds before returning your heels back down to the floor.

Dumbbell Supinated Row

-Begin with a set of dumbbells in hand and rotate them until your palms are facing away from you.

-Hinge at the hips with a slight bend in your knees and lean your torso forward until you are at about a 95* angle.

-While keeping the palms facing forward for the entire ROM, row the dumbbells up towards your torso squeezing your shoulder blades down and back.

-Maintain this retracted position for 1-2 seconds before lowering back down slowly.

-Before your arms reach full extension, begin rowing directly into the next rep.

-Repeat for designated number of reps.
