Workout Overview

Stimulus

Part 1, This week we start the final phase of our tempo strength cycle. The third is the concentric block, in which the lifter performs the rep with as much force and speed as possible. In part 2, Athletes should proceed with a plan for today's conditioning piece. The first 3 rounds will take around half of the clock and have an impact your AMRAP in the end, so we want to come into this with control and pacing so we can push for our score in the back half.

Scoring

Score | Rounds plus reps completed of the AMRAP portion.

Movements

Double Unders | Sets of 50 should take :45 or less today, sets of 30 should take :30 or less.

Dumbbell Deadlift | Dumbbells held at your sides, 1-2 sets in about 1:30 or less at a steady pace.

Devil's Press | Up through the round of 6 we should not need to take excessive rest with the dumbbells we've chosen.

The One | Teaching Focus

Knees Over Toes

The sumo deadlift will expose this fault in athletes more than most movements. Look for athletes to be actively driving the knees out to keep them tracking over the toes.

Look For

Double Unders | Today we are looking to stay relaxed, and control the breathing to prep for our next set on the DBs.
DB deadlift | We want to be sure athletes are keeping their knees to track over the toes as we deadlift, we want to avoid the knees caving too far in.
Devils press | look for athletes to jump the feet outside the hands as they come up from the burpee to be set up well for the DBs to go overhead.
