In part 1, we’re starting out our bench press with a max set at 80%. Athletes should be working to technical failure to establish their max reps set. IN part 2, today's piece is a choose your own adventure to kick off the week. On paper it may seem fairly simple, but our high breath rate and grip will both pick up pace very quickly if we don't find the best way to break this up based on where we are at individually. Whatever way we choose today should let us hold a pretty high intensity from beginning to end, get creative and challenge yourself!

Look For
Pay attention to pedal cadence, which is the speed at which athletes pedal. Encourage a cadence that is appropriate for the type of workout, somewhere between 87-95 RPM is likely an ideal target range.
Emphasize pointed toes throughout the movement for proper form. Avoid dorsiflexion (flexing the ankles) during the leg raise.
Cue athletes to set a strong, flat back before pulling the DB off the ground. This will emphasize use of the “big movers” of the posterior chain.

"Most people think they lack motivation when they really lack clarity." - James Clear
Rowing harder doesn't help if the boat is headed in the wrong direction.When was the last time you sat quietly on where you would be in a year from today?
5 years from today?
10 years?
… 20 years?It’s blurry, and should be. Yet this pivotal step is far too often missed, rushed, or even avoided all together. The result: we climb a ladder to a window we never fully intended to climb into.This is where working harder meets working smarter.In this journey, clarity is a weapon. It will bring light to situations where we need patience, and to others where we need action. Our guardrails as we steamroll down the highway, as effort and drive is our strength. We just need to continue to point ourselves in the right direction.
