For the Coach

Resource Drive

Workout Overview

Stimulus

We are in the isometric phase. Here, the focus is on holding the lift in a typical position of struggle or weakness before completing the lift. This phase will help you overcome sticking points by strengthening the muscles needed to lift the weight in that particular position.  For the back squat, we will pause at parallel, on the way up.  In part two, Big lung and leg burner today, our breathing will become key early on. There isn't much room to hide or rest between these two movements, so how we game plan the bigger rounds will determine how well our small rounds go at the end. How well do you manage your breathing without opportunities to rest?

Scoring

Score | Time to complete work. Add 1s per rep not completed if we are time capped.

Movements

Runs | About 4:00, 3:00, 2:00 and 1:00 respectively.

Wallballs | We should be able to hold onto 10+ reps at a time.

Strategies

The One | Teaching Focus

Grip the ground

In both our squats we want to target a  grip and twist of ground with the feet. This will create an arch in the midfoot and recruit the muscles of the posterior chain as athletes squat.

Single Dumbbell/Medball Thrusters

Logistics

Athletes can partner or group to share barbells for the lift portion.

It will flow best if each athlete has their own barbell for the metcon. 

Breathing is key today as there is not much rest or transition time between these two movements, try to stay in control and calm in the first couple of rounds so that we can push our paces at the end in the small sets.

Look For

  • Run | Look for athletes to be choosing the correct distances today.  While they need to be hitting the time frame targets, they also shouldn't be exhausting themselves too much that it will greatly affect the wallballs.
  • Wallball | Look for athletes to use the breathing techniques as they move through their sets.
