April 8 - 13

Monday

Brief
Today is a deload week for those who have been performing the escalating density training for the last few weeks. It is also an opportunity to practise the skills for the upcoming 3-week strength cycle. Today we have box squats with a 2-second lowering, 1-second pause, 1-second drive-up, and 2-second breath-and-brace before descending for your next rep. Keep the weights light and strive for excellent movement. Use plate stacks on box-squats for safety. Perform 2 wall-ball-release depth-jumps between each set. Stand on a 20inch box holding a wall ball at chest. Step off the box, descend quickly to a half squat, releasing the ball at the bottom the the descent, before using the elastic potential to spring back up to a high vertical jump. Be careful not to land on the ball.

Brief
Today is a deload week for those who have been performing the escalating density training for the last few weeks. It is also an opportunity to practise the skills for the upcoming 3-week strength 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 at light weight. 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 2 min window if necessary.

Wednesday

Brief
Today is a deload week for those who have been performing the escalating density training for the last few weeks. It is also an opportunity to practise the skills for the upcoming 3-week strength 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 1km 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 light-weight conventional deadlifts with a 3 up, 3 down tempo. No pause at the top or bottom of the rep. Continuous movement.
