Warm Up

WARM UP VIDEO


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.
