Workout Overview

Stimulus

Today's workout is a good day to allow the body to recover, while still getting in some good muscular work.  This is meant to be a recovery workout meaning we are not pushing the intensity too much, but focusing on our quality of movement. 

Scoring

Score | Total Reps

Movements

Target Score | 125-200 Reps

Stimulus | Recovery [RPE 2-3]

Run | About 1:00 to complete.

Row | About 1:00 to complete.

Strict Pull-Ups | Choose a variation that allows for 6+ reps each round.

Sit Ups | Aim for full range of motion, completing 10+ reps each round.

Strategies

The One | Teaching Focus

Pull the Elbows to the Floor

In our strict pull ups, encourage athletes to pull the elbows down to the floor rather than pulling the chin over the bar.  This will force athletes to pull in a straight bar path.

Specific Warm-Up
(9-21 minutes)

(9 - 19 minutes)

Strict Pull-Up Warm-Up | Tell, Show, Do, Check

  • 0:20 Scapular Pull-Ups
  • Emphasize engaging the scapulae to initiate the pull and building shoulder stability.
  • 0:20 Hollow Hold (Hanging from Bar)
  • Look for athletes to maintain a tight, rigid body with toes pointed and a neutral spine, preparing the core for strict pull-ups.
  • 0:20 Active Hang + Pull-Up Negative
  • Emphasize slow, controlled movement, ensuring that they maintain tension in the core and lats throughout the descent.
  • 0:20 Banded Strict Pull-Ups or Jumping Pull-Ups (Assisted)
  • Ensure athletes are using their upper body to pull rather than relying on momentum or assistance.
  • 0:20 Tempo Strict Pull-Ups (3-Second Descent)
  • Look for proper head positioning (in line with the body), elbows tracking back, and full range of motion—chin over the bar at the top.
  • 0:20 Strict Pull-Ups (Workout Movement)
  • Watch for smooth movement, neutral spine, and consistent pull-up technique with no kipping or excessive body movement.

Look For

  • Run | If athletes cannot complete the run in around 1:00, have athletes pull back the distance.  This shouldn't need to be a sprint effort, we are looking to target an RPE 2-3.
  • Strict Pull-Ups | Look for our teaching focus, elbows to the floor. 
  • Row | Focus on the sequence of pull, legs then arms. 
  • Sit-Ups | Look for full range of motion in the sit ups, these are only beneficial if full range of motion is used.
