Warm Up
Overhead Press (Week 4 of 5)
5x2 @RPE 9
*Perform each rep with a 3 second descend.
*Rest 90sec between sets
COACH'S NOTES
Today's intensity = RPE 9
Rate of Perceived Exertion and the 9 simply means that you should feel like you could have done another 1 repetition when you have completed your set.
This is week 4 of our new strength cycle.
-Perform a few sets of an overhead press with an empty barbell or light set of dumbbells.
-Slowly begin to add weight until you are at your first set.
Focus Points:
-Elbows slightly in front of the bar.
-Deep inhale and brace before pressing.
-Finish the rep in a stacked position. Weight needs to be directly over the shoulders in the lockout.
-Squeeze the glutes while bracing the core.

COACH'S NOTES
MOBILITY/ACTIVATION
Primer:
3 Rounds
100m Jog
6 Kettlebell Swings - Light (Or SUB)
6 Box Step Ups >>> Box Jumps (Or SUB)
6 Ring Rows >>> Pullups (Or SUB)
Focus Points:
-Selecting the correct running distance will help set you up for success in this workout. (Should take an Average of 1:00-1:30)
-Kettlebell weight should be something you can hang onto unbroken (15 reps straight) at least for the first couple of rounds.
-Box Jump reps are about keeping the heart rate steady. We want to avoid spiking so we can work our best to keep cotinuous movement.
-Pullup choice should be something that allows for 9 complete reps performed in either 1 or 2 sets.
Goal:
Average Time Per Round to Strive for = 2:45-3:45

COACH'S NOTES
Focus Points:
-Quality movement for all repetitions.
-Pullups can be any variation you wish (strict, kip, jumping, butterfly, Ring Row 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.
