Workout Overview

Stimulus

In Part 1, we are starting our 4 week 10-rep cycle.  In this first week we are completing our “primer” week to explore and establish a load for the following week.  In part 2, This 16-minute AMRAP is a test of your stamina, coordination, and grit. The burpee pull-ups combine full-body strength with cardio, the double unders challenge your coordination, and the Bike Erg pushes your endurance. The key is to find a steady rhythm and keep moving, with minimal rest between movements. Aim to maintain a consistent pace and see how many rounds you can complete in the time!

Strategies

The One | Teaching Focus

Full-Body Tension for Power

Today’s emphasis is on maintaining tension throughout the entire body during the bench press. This full-body tension is key to stabilizing the lift, enabling more weight to be handled safely and efficiently. Athletes should focus on engaging not just the chest and arms, but also the legs, glutes, and core. By driving their feet into the ground, squeezing the glutes, and tightening the core, athletes create a solid foundation that translates into greater power and stability on the press.

Look For

  • Burpee Pull Ups | Athletes should find a steady pace here.  Encourage them to step up from the burpee to prep for the pull up.  Stepping up from the burpee can allow athletes to stay moving. 
  • Double Unders | We are looking for athletes to aim for unbroken on the double unders.  We should remain relaxed throughout the reps to relive the shoulders. 
  • Bike | Steady pedal rate, athletes should try to hold above 75rpms on the bike.  Cue athletes to have light feet on the pedals to engage the hamstrings in the bottom of the stroke.
