WARM UP VIDEO


Overhead Press (Week 2 of 5 Tempo Strength Cycle)

4x5 @41x1

*Rest 60-90sec between sets.

COACH'S NOTES

Lets try to lift a little heavier than the previous week as we will be performing less reps.

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 = @41x1

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

-The second number (1) 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

3 Sets as a PRIMER:

*Get faster each set and build to a working weight for the workout.

3 Toes to bar (Or SUB)

3 Power Snatch (Or SUB)

1 Toe to Bar (Or SUB)

1 Power Snatch (Or SUB)

10sec on Rower (Or SUB)

Stimulus:

-These are designed to be sets performed unbroken and at a fast pace.

-At no point should you have your hands on your knees bent over resting (Unless it's during the rest).

Focus Points:

-Efficiency with the bar/weight on the snatch is key early on in this workout.

-Just because the weight is light enough for you to fling it around doesnt mean that you should.

-Get a quality setup but these are touch and go (continuous reps).

-Make sure for both movements you can perform them unbroken but it is a challenge to do it.

-Use a SUB in later rounds in you have to break your sets.

-Changing to the SUB as quickly as possible in the middle of a set is ideal.

Goal:

Matt's Score = 17:49 #50lb DB (Unbroken sets)

2:06/1:58/1:54/1:59/1:54

-Each Round should take around 2:00-2:30. We are looking for a 1:1 Work to rest ratio.

-Consistency round to round on time. The 2:00 rest will seem like it gets shorter and shorter.
