Overhead Squat (Week 2)

5-4-3-3-2

Then perform a "Back Off" by taking off 20% of your final weight lifted and

perform 6-8reps.

*Rest 2:00 between each set

COACH'S NOTES

Perform 10-15 Reps of an overhead squat with a PVC pipe

Activation/Primer

3 Sets

10 Pass Throughs

-If this movement is a challenge for you, lets keep it light using a PVC/broomstick and perform all sets with a higher rep scheme (all sets 8-10 reps for 6 sets total).

-Today we are beginning a new strength cycle which will include "Back Off" sets.

-A Back Off set is your final set in which you will take off some of the weight to perform a higher volume set.

Ex.

300lbs x 5

315lbs x 4

335lbs x 3

365lbs x 3

375lbs x 3

Then your back off set would be your final weight subtraction 20% for 6-8 reps. (20% of 375 = 75) so Back off set would be (375-75= 300lbs).

Focus Points:

-Constant tension pressing into the bar while overhead.

-Maintain bar positioning as you descned in the squat.

-Depth will be determined by your ability to keep the bar in the same position overhead.

COACH'S NOTES

MOBILITY

-10 Pass Throughs with PVC

-10 Overhead Squats with PVC/empty Barbell

-Today we have a technical movement combined with some midline (core) work.

Focus Points:

-Bar positioning overhead.

-Determine your depth in the squat based on how well you can maintain the bar positioning directly overhead for the entire range of motion.

-Choose a weight that you have the ability to perform 10+ reps with unbroken when fresh. (Quality Reps).

-If the skill isnt quite there yet on the overhead squat, lets use a PVC or empty barbell and increase our reps to 15 each set.

-Choose the option for toes to bar that you have the ability to do 10+ reps unbroken when fresh.

Goal:

Perform at least first 1-2 rounds unbroken for each exercise (perform in 1 set without breaking the 9 reps).
