Overhead Press (Week 3 of 5)

5x3 @RPE 8

*Perform each rep with a 3 second descend.

*Rest 90sec between sets


COACH'S NOTES

-Today's intensity = RPE 8

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 3 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.

Banded Crunches

-Attach the band to a pullup bar and begin by being in a kneeling position. Grab the band with both hands and establish your grip with arms covering the ears and hands near the back of your head. Slowly start to flex at the hip using the core to bring the torso closer to the floor. Retrun to the start position and repeat this.

Dumbbell Lateral Raises

-With a set of dumbbells placed in each hand at your sides, slowly raise them out to your sides until your arms become parallel with the floor. Control the weight back down to your sides and repeat.
