COACH'S NOTES

MOBILITY/ACTIVATION

Primer:

-Perform a few reps at each station to help ensure you are able to perform each one unbroken for at least the first round.

Focus Points:

-The is a workout where you need to preserve your grip as best as possible.

-Doing little things like relaxing your grip at the top of the kettlebell swing will help.

-The jump rope portion will require you to focus while under fatigue to complete all 50 reps.

-Think about small tight rotations with the wrists and not rotating at the shoulders.

-Toes to bar will make the core and the grip fatigue each round so break it up where needed to sustain managable sets.

Goal:

-Aim to be under 4:00 per round. If you're approaching the 4 minute mark per round consider using a SUB.

-Total time including the Cash Out should be around 25 minutes or below on average.

Barbell Bicep 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.

Glute Bridges

-While laying in a supine position (Flat on your back) tuck your knees with feet flat on the floor.

-Your heels should be close to your butt and hands out to your side on the floor with palms down.

-Draw in your stomach slightly and push through your heels to raise your hips towards the ceiling.

-Squeeze your glutes and hold the top position for 1-2sec before lowering back to the start position.
