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
-Finish the toes to bar quickly to get to the plank and finish strong.
-The row should be at a 75% effort or higher.
