-Perform 8-10 reps of Bench Press with and empty barbell (Or light weight).
-Work on establishing tension by staying tight even before you've intiated your lift.

COACH'S NOTES
MOBILITY/ACTIVATION
-Use a light weight and build across the Primer sets until you've established your working weight.
PRIMER:
3 Sets building in pace (50% effort, 70% effort, 90%+ effort)
4 Deadlifts (Or SUB)
2 Hang Power Cleans (Or SUB)
2 Push Press (Or SUB)
10-15sec on the Bike (Or SUB)
*Rest as needed before beginning your first set.
Focus Points:
-If moving the barbell is difficult for you to perform with efficiency, I would suggest using a set of dumbbells.
-The wieght should be something you can cycle fast and efficiently.
-Quality of movement to get you through all three exercises is essential.
-The pace on the bike (or SUB) should be an uncomfortable pace but understand you want to also be able to repeat it.
-If you're using a bike leg fatigue will build up so being able to push through and bring the foucs to the arms when needed is a must.
Goal:
-Be within a 5-7 reps/calories each round.
