Workout Overview

Stimulus

In Part1, This is the fourth week of our 8-week PowerBuilding Cycle. This cycle incorporates ten lifts and alternates between hypertrophy-focused (higher rep) and absolute strength-focused (lower rep) weeks, ensuring balanced development.  In part 2,  Today is a fun twist on a team workout.  We are looking to be synchronized at the top of our sit ups.  Each teammate can choose whatever bodyweight movement they would like.  They can do the same one every round, or a different one, but all are designed to take around 1:00-1:30 to complete.  The first teammate done with their reps can advance to the rower.

Look For

  • Sit Ups: Target here is 2:00, be sure athletes scale reps if needed to hit the target. 
  • “X” Movements: This is a great day for athletes to work wall walks if they want to, in all of our movements we should remain tight in the core and engaged. 
  • Row: Athletes get to switch out as they want to here, so encourage a hard effort.
