April 29 - May 4

Monday

Brief
We are in our fourth 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. Less reps than last week but add weight to the barbell. If you were not here last week, choose a weight that is challenging but still allows you to move with power. There should be no sticking points through the rep. 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 @ heavier than last week. Tempo 21X2.

Tuesday

Brief
We are in our fourth week of this 4 week cycle. 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 benches if necessary. Superset with bent-over Rear-delt fly. If you were here last week, use the same weights as last week and just add a repetition to each set. 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 30 sec window if necessary. This is the last week of this Metcon cycle.

Wednesday

Brief
We are in our fourth week of this 4 week cycle. 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. We have picked exercises in the metcon which will promote blood flow to the areas we want to be warm for our deadlifts, without fatiguing them. No scoring on today's metcon. We then have conventional deadlifts with a 3 up, 3 down tempo. No pause at the top or bottom of the rep. Continuous movement.
