Warm Up
Dynamic Warm Up (7-10 minutes)
Front Squat (Week 4 of 5)
5x2 @RPE 8
*Perform each rep with a 3 second descend.
*Rest 90sec between sets
COACH'S NOTES
MOBILITY:
Fire Hydrant Stretch 5 forward/back each leg.
Front Rack Stretch Alternating Elbows :30sec-1:00.
This is Week 4 of our Strength Cycle.
The focus behind this cycle is to ensure we are re-establishing a solid foundation with both our movement and efficiency through time under tension.
Focus Points:
-Set up a timer to hold yourself accountable to the prescribed tempo in the lowering phase.
-Inhale and hold your breathe to help brace for the entire range of motion. Reset at the top of the rep and repeat.
-Establish a grip just outside shoulder width to help create a nice shelf for the bar to rest on.
-If getting into a front rack position is a challenge due to lack of mobility/range of motion, consider using a SUB.

COACH'S NOTES
MOBILITY/ACTIVATION
Perform a few reps at each station with light weight or body weight.
Focus Points:
-Choose loads and exercise options that allow for continuous movement for 45sec (Or as best as possible).
-When we tested this workout, it was key to stay calm and consistent and not over exert on any one particular movement.
-Shoulder fatigue definitely played a factor in today's daily sweat.
-If you have an exercise that you really excel at and what to push the pace, go for it.
-Have a SUB in mind to switch to mid set if needed.
-If you are watching along and doing the workout with us, just pick a station and follow that person.
CASH OUT: 2mile Run (Tim surprised us with this addition at the end)
-Feel free to cut the distance down based on your skill level and include a walk/jog format if needed.

COACH'S NOTES
We are now on week 8 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.

-Ring Row
-Any Object Bent Row
