WHITEBOARD BRIEF
– Strength: Today we have several variations to train the posterior as well as the anterior chain. We’ll review each movement before we let Athletes go to work. The focus is: to feel the correct muscles working, get a great pump, and to be challenged while still focusing on quality of movement. Overall, this is a strength-only day that will likely challenge Athletes MORE than a strength/metcon day. Again, less emphasis on load today and more emphasis on taxing the correct musculature. Here’s a breakdown how things should go:
– Box Squats: Moderate weight for all sets – challenging, but executed with perfect form – using 16-18″ Box (slightly above parallel.) http://tiny.cc/BoxSquat
– Glute Hip Thrust (or Glute Bridge if using a bench is not an option) – 5 challenging sets that allow people to squeeze glutes hard at the top http://tiny.cc/GluteThrust
– 1 1/4 Split Squats: These should be light and naturally suck – warm-up set for these is not included but people should try a few reps before grabbing the desired weight. Go light! http://tiny.cc/1_25SS
– Serratus crunch: challenging, but no one should be hitting failure – perform with no weight if needed. http://tiny.cc/Serratus
