For Quality…


4 x 10 Good Mornings

Incorporate variations for each set- use a band, a barbell, staggered stance w/ left or right foot forward.

60s Each Side Standing Pigeon Stretch

Strength


Work up to a heavy double SUMO STANCE BOX Squat. Please, please, please keep your knees directly above your ankles. If I were looking at you from the side, then I do not want to see your knee move in front of your toes. Use a big, wide stance and screw those feet into the ground to activate your legs and booty. The movement starts with a slight unlock of the knees and then you send your booty straight back. It may feel like a good mornings.


Spend 10 minutes finding a heavy double SUMO STANCE BOX SQUAT.


Your rep scheme may look like 10 with an empty barbell and then start with super light weight and move up 10-8-4-2-2-2…Remember, only 3 efforts at 80% or higher, and we only take lifts we know we can make.

Conditioning


The clock is set for 9 minutes. You complete as many rounds as you can comfortably in nine minutes. You must rest a minimum of 30s between rounds. Choose a kettle bell that you could do 30 swings unbroken for the first round. During the workout, you can break it up however you like, but use that to help you choose your weight.

200’ Sled Push (Empty & no pull w/ rope today)

30 Russian KB Swings

-Rest 30s-

Accessory


60s Standing Lat Stretch

3 x 12 Dumbbell Step Ups
