COACH'S NOTES

MOBILITY:

Fire Hydrant Stretch 5 forward/back each leg.

Front Rack Stretch Alternating Elbows :30sec-1:00.

This is Week 3 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.

Focus Points:

-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.
