Overhead Press (Week 2 of 5)

5x4 @RPE 7

*Perform each rep with a 3 second descend.

*Rest 90sec between sets


COACH'S NOTES

-Today's intensity = RPE 7

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 2 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

Dumbbell Tricep Overhead Extensions

-Hold a dumbbell overhead in a vertical fashion. Begin with arms extended and the weight over your head. Slowly lower the weight down towards your shoulder blades and then extend back up overhead to complete the rep.

Hanging Straight Leg Raises

-Hang from a bar with a pullup grip. Without using any swing or momentum, slowly raise your legs while keeping them as straight as possible. Lower them back down under control to prevent you from swinging back and forth.

Plate Front Raises

-Keep the arms extended with a slight bend in the elbow. Start with the plate at your thighs and raise up towards the sky. Slowly lower back down.

Banded Pull Aparts

-Place both hands on a band and hold it with arms extended out in front of your chest.

-The further your hands are apart, the easier it will be.

-Slowly pull the band apart and retract the shoulder blades until the band is across your chest.

-Hold for 1-2 seconds and then slowly return to the staring position.
