April 15 - 20

Monday

Brief
We are in our second week of this 4 week-training cycle. Today we have box squats with a 2-second lowering, 1-second pause, drive up for power, and 2-second breath-and-brace before descending for your next rep. The emphasis is on a powerful concentric phase of the lift. Choose a weight that is challenging but allows you to move with power and have no sticking points. Use plate stacks on box-squats for safety. Perform 2 depth-jumps between each set. Stand on a 20inch box. Step off the box, land and recoil/spring straight back up into vertical jump.

4x3 OT3min @ moderate-heavy. Tempo 21X2.

Tuesday

Brief
We are in our second week of this 4 week cycle. Today we have jerk-width bench press with a 2 second lowering, 1 second pause on the t-shirt (keep tension so it doesn't sink into chest), 1 second drive up, and 1 second pause before the next rep. Use plate stacks with abmats on top for benchs if necessary. Superset wih bent-over Rear-delt fly. The class will partake in a coach-led empty barbell push jerk warm-up together and then warm up the metcon-skills before the metcon. In the metcon, share a barbell warm-up with a friend and work in the opposite 90 sec window if necessary.

Wednesday

Brief
We are in our second week of this 4 week cycle. Today we will perform the metcon before the strength section. The metcon should be at no higher than 80% effort. We want to keep this aerobic and submaximal. The runs in the metcon will be nasal breathing only. You can breathe in/out the mouth for the other metcon skills if you wish. We then have conventional deadlifts with a 3 up, 3 down tempo. No pause at the top or bottom of the rep. Continuous movement.
