Warm Up
Deadlift (Week 3 of 5)
5x3 @RPE 8
*Perform each rep with a 3 second descend.
*Rest 90sec between sets
COACH'S NOTES
Today's intensity = RPE 8
-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 3 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
We are now on week 7 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.
