2 Rounds

10 Front Squats @empty barbell

30 second Front Plank

MANAGEMENT/FOCUS:

  • Getting the barbells out for the second part will help the transition into the Specific Warm-up

  • These movements will get the hips, legs and core ready to go

Specific Warm-up

Round 1: 6 Front Squats @40%

Round 2: 4 Front Squats @50%

Round 3: 2 Front Squats @60%

MANAGEMENT/FOCUS:

  • I would do a warm-up round every 2:00

  • This is a great time to help them with their technique on Front Squats

Strength

Strength Clusters

Every 30 seconds for 5 minutes (10 total reps):

1 Front Squat @70% of estimated max from week 1

2-4 minutes rest

Every 30 seconds for 5 minutes (10 total reps):

1 Front Squat @75% of estimated max from week 1

FOCUS:

  • Strength Clusters: the whole point is that 10 reps at 70 or 75% would be extremely challenging, but we can do 10 singles with short rest and still get the strength endurance benefit

NO BARBELL OPTION:

  • KB Goblet Squats 5x6

  • reps decreased, try to increase weight

OPEN TIME OPTION:

  • N/A

CONTROLLED TIME OPTION:

  • N/A

Accessory Work

5 sets:

5 Barbell Rollouts

14 Double DB Lunges (7 each leg, DB in each hand)

FOCUS/STRATEGY:

  • Barbell Rollouts: just like the AB wheel, but a bit more difficult, at least 25s on each side so the barbell will roll, focus on quality and controlled movement

  • Double DB Lunges: DB in each hand, chest up, you can do forward/reverse/walking, focus on driving through your front heel to push up to full hip extension, we did 8 per leg in week 2, increase weight from there

  • Do Both movements every 2:00
