Workout Overview

Stimulus

This week we start our new tempo cycle. We begin with the eccentric block. It’s the most taxing of the three since you’re under a heavy load for an extended period of time. During this block, be sure to focus on quality mechanics and full range of motion. The tempo occurs as the lifer lowers the load down. Once at the bottom of the lift, drive it back up. In part two we have High volume and lighter movements today means we're moving quickly but with a plan for breaks from the start. All of these movements have an explosive hip opening and as we progress we should anticipate the fatigue having an effect on each following movement.

Scoring

Score | Rounds plus reps completed.

Movements

Wallballs | About 2:30 or less of work. Weight should allow for 10+ reps 

Kettlebell Swings | About 2:30 or less of work. Weight allows for 10+ reps 

Box Jumps | About 3:00 or less of work.

The One | Teaching Focus

Grip the ground

In 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.

 Athletes are looking to be continuously moving throughout the 15:00 clock today. Pick a plan for the wallballs and kettlebell swings in round 1 that is quick moving and pay attention to your breathing throughout.

Look For

  • Wallball | Look for athletes to extend their hips before throwing the ball.  Athletes should stand fully and aggressively first to give the hand permission to throw the ball.
  • KB swing | Look for athletes to swing the hips, now the arms.  Again, like the wallball athletes should fully extend the hips before swinging the KB.
  • Box jump | Look for athletes to actually jump.  The goal of the box jump is for us to work our vertical jump, not just land on the box.  You should see athletes try and jump high, to land high.
