Warm Up
Deadlift (Week 2 of 5)
5x4 @RPE 7
*Perform each rep with a 3 second descend.
*Rest 90sec between sets
COACH'S NOTES
Today's intensity = RPE 7
-Rate of Perceived Exertion and the 6 simply means that you should feel like you could have done another 4 repetitions when you have completed your set.
This is week 2 of our new strength cycle.
-Perform a few sets of a deadlift with an empty barbell or light set of dumbbells.
-Slowly begin to add weight until you are at your first set.
Focus Points:
-Deep inhale and brace before lifting the weight from the floor.
-Imagine an orange underneath each armpit and you're squeezing all the juice out of them in your setup.
-Keep the bar close to the body both on the way up and on the way down.

COACH'S NOTES
MOBILITY/ACTIVATION
Before starting today's workout, make sure you have properly warmed up and built to a working weight on the deadlift.

5 light deadlift (Or SUB)
5 Step Ups >>>> Box Jumps (Or SUB)
10sec Row (Or SUB)
Focus Points:
-Choose a deadlift weight that is around 50-60% of your max and no heavier.
-If you are newer or limited on weight, you can slow your deadlift down to 3 seconds on the lower to get practice moving well.
-Use a step down off the box and move at a steady pace.
GOAL:
-Aim to be close or finished with the round of 8's at the 7:00 mark (Halfway Point)

COACH'S NOTES
MOBILITY/ACTIVATION
We are now on week 6 of our Murph Prep. This is a "Mini Murph" Variation. If you have a weight vest and plan on wearing a vest for the actual "Murph" workout on Memorial Day, now is a good time to start using it.
Focus Points:
-Quality movement for all repetitions.
-Pullups can be any variation you wish (strict, kip, jumping, butterfly etc.)
-Puhsups need to be an option you can touch your chest all the way down but also be able to lock your arms out at the top.
-Air squats need to be as deep as your mobility allows with full ankle, knee and hip extension at the top.
-Move through this with quality as your intention, rather than how fast you can move.
Goal:
-Quality of movement is a top priority.
