Strength

3 Sets

  • 8-10 Hack Squats w/ foam roller
  • 3/side Hip Airplanes
  • 5/side Barbell Overhead Split Squat @ 2011
  • 3 Jefferson Curls w/ :10 negative

Notes

Our strength today involves four exercises that target lower body strength and mobility. You will rotate through the 4 exercises for 3 rounds, resting as needed between each exercise.

Hack Squats w/ foam roller. Move through a full range of motion. Get all 10 reps first, then add weight. Aim to use 5-10lbs more than the last two weeks

Hip airplanes. If you struggle to hold your balance, hold on to the rig and focus on moving through as big a range of motion as possible while showing control. Move slowly here.

Barbell Overhead Split Squat. Use a light weight here. Focus on a good overhead position where the bar is directly over your center and your elbows are locked out. Maintain a soft touch of the knee each rep.

Jefferson Curls. Use a very light weight here. If you have a history of back issues, considering substituting a banded hamstring stretch for :30 on each leg.

Conditioning

Complete as many rounds as possible in 15:00:

  • 12-15 Calories
  • 12 Box Jump Overs
  • 9 Dumbbell Hang Power Cleans

Notes

Today’s workout is a simple triplet of calories, box jump overs, and dumbbell hang power cleans. Your score is the number of rounds and reps completed in 15-minutes.

The calories should take no more than 1-minute each round. Adjust the target accordingly.

Choose a box height that allows you to move consistently throughout the workout. Stay safe. Be totally confident in yourself each jump. Otherwise, lower the box.

Choose a light-moderate set of dumbbells. Aim to complete the 9 reps unbroken throughout the workout. The goal is consistent movement throughout the 15-minutes.
