Workout Overview

Stimulus

Sundays are programmed as “recovery” days so that we can attack Monday and the rest of the week hard.  Use today as an opportunity to still move and sweat a little, but follow our RPE recommendation of 2-3, meaning we feel like we are in control of our pace and heart rate the whole time. 

Scoring

Score: Time

Movements

Intended Intensity: RPE 2-3

Target Loading: Light-Moderate

Fitness Attribute Improved: Recovery

Target Score: 22-28 Minutes

Bike: Choose a distance that takes about 4 minutes.

Farmers Carry:  Load should allow for 200m to be completed in about 2:00.

The One | Teaching Focus

Roll the Shoulders Back and Down

During the farmers carry, focus on athletes following the shoulders back and down as they carry.  This can also carry over into the row, we want athletes to keep the shoulders rolled back and engaged as they row.

Farmers Carry Warm-Up | Tell, Show, Do, Check

  • 0:20 Plank Scapular Retractions
  • Scapular Retractions: With arms extended in front, focus on pulling the shoulder blades back (squeezing them together) and then releasing.
  • 0:20 Plank Shoulder Taps
  • This helps activate the core and stabilize the shoulders, key for maintaining posture during carries.
  • 0:20 Single-Arm Suitcase Carry (Light Load)
  • Have athletes pick up a light weight in one hand and walk 10–15 meters (or in place if space is limited).
  • Encourage them to stand tall, roll the shoulders back, and brace the core to avoid leaning to one side.
  • 0:20 Double Dumbbell (or Kettlebell) Light Farmer’s Carry
  • Watch for athletes maintaining upright posture, a tight core, and stable, steady steps.
  • 0:20 Farmer’s Carry (Workout Load)
  • Move to the load intended for the workout.
  • Ensure athletes keep their eyes forward, shoulders back, and arms relaxed (not shrugging). Emphasize even weight distribution and deliberate foot placement.
