Tuesday
Brief
Why do we love Animal Flow and Primal Crawls so much? To build mobility and stability, particularly through the shoulders and hips. To explore and be strong in different ranges-of-motion and positions. To play, which is great for coordination, creativity and stress relief.
This is the first week of this 4 week cycle. We will use it as an opportunity to deload before ramping up over the next 3. If you have not been training regularly you can go a little bit heavier than 65% if you feel you do not need a deload. Remember that deloads are a fundamental part of building strength and preventing burnout/injury over the long-term. So if you have been training hard and consistently, it is recommended you do take the deload sets/reps to allow your body to fully recover.
The exercise today is a bench press. You will grab a bench or alternatively set up 2 plates with a mat on top. For the bench press, we would like to pause on our t-shirt for 1 second each rep before drving up. This helps build the bottom range strength of our press and also helps us feel the pec muscles working more effectively. DO NOT BOUNCE off the chest. We will superset with a ring pullup. Just 2 easy sets on this deload week. If you cannot perform ring pullups please perform strict banded bar pullups.
The metcon is a simple but effective one.
If class finishes early perform the Extras, Mobility and Breathing Work.

Brief
This is the first week of this 4 week cycle. We will use it as an opportunity to deload before ramping up over the next 3. If you have not been training regularly you can go a little bit heavier than 65% if you feel you do not need a deload. Remember that deloads are a fundamental part of building strength and preventing burnout/injury over the long-term. So if you have been training hard and consistently, it is recommended you do take the deload sets/reps to allow your body to fully recover.
The exercise is the box squat. Please use the very low boxes or alternatively set up a stack of plates as the box. The box should be at the parallel point in your squat. Make sure you CONTROL down to the box. Do not crash your butt on the box. If you are crashing down, the weight is most likely too heavy. Also be sure to keep your midline braced throughout the lift and use the drive from your hips (glutes, hamstrings, adductors). DO NOT extend your spine at the top of the lift. Also take a wider stance than usual in your squat to allow you to control down to the box and to recruit your posterior chain effectively. The Box squat is a fantastic exercise if done correctly, or an awful exercise if done incorrectly. Proper tecnhique before load.
The metcon has a 15 min unilateral, posterior, and midline focus.
If class finishes early perform the Extras, Mobility and Breathing Work.

So if you have been training hard and consistently, it is recommended you do take the deload sets/reps to allow your body to fully recover.
The exercise is a barbell strict press. 2 sets of 5 reps. Remember to pause at the shoulders each rep. Do not bounce. We want to build the bottom range strength. We will superset this with 2 sets of 5 reps of a light weight underhand bent row.
The metcon is 15 rounds of 30 seconds work followed by 30 seconds rest. Each round begins with 2 TTB (5 TTB for Rx+). The TTB can be strict or kipping. Then move onto AMRAP Burpee box jumps until the 30 second round is complete. The goal is to get the same number of BBJ each of the 15 rounds. If you feel like you are losing coordination, feel free to start stepping up onto the box. Safety first.
If class finishes early perform the Extras, Mobility and Breathing Work.
