WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW

Wall Balls: Goal should be 2-3 sets and make sure to cycle the arms and breathe through every rep.

Alt V-Ups: Non-stop is the goal at a smooth pace while really over emphasizing the hips and arm drive.

Power Cleans: Weight is heavyish and the body will begin to break down. Move steady and try to complete a rep every 6-10 seconds

Toes to Bar: 2 quick sets would be a safe bet on this. Be aggressive with the hips and kick to continuous reps.

Dumbbell Step-overs: You may hold as farmers cary or on the shoulders. Whichever is comfortable keeps you moving through should be the pick. Practice different strategies and try to stay unbroken or close to.

Accessory Work

60 Second breaks between all sets

No Touch Bent-over Barbell Row

5 sets: 8-10 reps (Increasing weight across sets) – Athletes can use a double overhand or double underhand row. Barbell should not touch the ground between reps and there should be minimal kipping of the bar.

*Focus: Strong contraction of the back/pulling back with the elbow not the hands. Aim for just below the rib cage or hips if needed for comfort.

Single Arm Dumbbell Row

4 sets: 10-12 reps (Increasing weight across sets) – Athlete can brace against a bench, waist height object, or their own body

*Focus: Same as Barbell row above

Standing Barbell Curl

4 sets: 10 reps (Weight should allow for quality reps and minimal kipping of bar)

*Focus: Shoulder width grip focusing on bicep contraction at top of rep.
