COACH'S NOTES

MOBILITY/ACTIVATION

Perform a few reps at each station to help determine loadings and exercise choice.

Focus Points:

-Full ROM is a priority and the loading is secondary.

-Use a lighter weight and move it for higher volume (Reps) instead of a heavier weight and having to break.

-Maximize movement in the :45sec window.

-Have a SUB in mind for each movement so you can easily transition when fatigued to keep moving.

Goal:

-Aim for 18-20 Single Arm Dumbbell Thrusters
