Workout Overview

Stimulus

Today we have a big capacity piece.  With it being the end of the week, we are looking to move at a steady pace today throughout all our movements.  We should feel that we can come in from the run and get right to work inside.

Scoring

Score | Time to complete work.

Movements

Run | 3:00-3:30 today.

Air squats | Smooth working pace here.

KB swing | Unbroken.

Strategies

The One | Teaching Focus

Range of motion

We are looking for athletes to hit full depth on their air squats, while reaching full extension at the top of each rep.

For the KB swings, be sure athletes are getting the biceps to the ear at the top of each rep.

  • Air Squat | Look for athletes to keep the chest up, and maintain full range of motion through reps.
  • KB Swing | Stong hip pop.  Athletes are shooting to use the hips to initiate the KB swing.
