Workout Overview

Stimulus

We have a hero workout today, so we're digging deep into the discomfort and settling in for the duration of this piece. We're looking at fast, unbroken sets in a cyclical fashion.  Today each partner will start on a “station” or movement, and once both partners finish their reps, then they can move on.

Scoring

Score | Rounds plus reps.

Movements

Push Press | Weight should allow for unbroken sets each time we pick up the barbell.

Kettlebell Swings | Unbroken sets to full lockout overhead.

Box Jumps | Steady cadence here to catch our breath and reduce our heart rate for the other two movements.

The One | Teaching Focus

Hip Pop

In both our kettlebell swings and push presses, we emphasize a forceful hip extension. For the kettlebell swing, this explosive hip movement is the driving force that propels the kettlebell overhead. Similarly, in the push press, aggressively extend your hips first to generate momentum before pressing the bar overhead. This technique ensures maximum power and efficiency in both movements.

Look For

  • KB swing | Looking for the teaching focus today.  Be sure athletes have also chosen a load they can go unbroken, and reach full range of motion.
  • Push press | We should be driving though our hips to get the barbell overhead today.  Be sure athletes are not treating these as push jerks, we do not want to see any rebend under the bar.
  • Box jump | Athletes should reach full hip extension in their jump today.  We want athletes to jump high, and land tall in each rep.

MINDSET

Ralph Emerson

 "Do not waste yourself in rejection, nor bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good."

Focus on positivity and what’s working well rather than dwelling on negativity or setbacks.
