For the Coach

Resource Drive

Workout Overview

Stimulus

Pick reps/weights that allow you to complete each movement in under 1:00, allowing for at least 10 rounds today.  This has potential to be a high round workout, so being able to split with a partner will make it easier to keep intensity high. 

Scoring

Score: Rounds + Reps

Movements

Target Score: 15-20 Rounds

Stimulus: Moderate-Heavy Loading

Deadlifts: Loading should not exceed 70% of your 1RM.

Push-ups: Keep a neutral spine and body in a straight line, tightening your core.

Box Jumps: Must reach full lockout/extension of the hips/knees at the top of the box. Step down off the top of the box - no rebounding.

The One | Teaching Focus

Push-Up Body Position + Scaling Options

Engage the core to keep the body stable.
Scaling Options:

Look For

  • Deadlifts: 2 sets on the deadlifts, encourage athletes to keep their shoulder blades squeezed and engaged.
  • Push-Ups: Full range of motion is key here.  Chest should touch the floor, and full lockout at the top. 
  • Box Jumps: Jump high, land high.  Be sure athletes lockout at the top, and step down.
