Performance (Leg focused):

Tip: HIP EXTENSION TWO WAYS

In the Speed Strength section today, you will experience a combination of plyometrics and Olympic lifting. Both exercises require a forceful hip extension to complete each respective movement. Both exercises work on power output at high speeds but at different points along the speed-strength continuum. To become a well-rounded and powerful athlete, you must work on all aspects of speed and strength.

Station 1: INTERVAL WEIGHT TRAINING: 10 min

3 Rounds
every round is 3:20
300/240m Row

Back Squat will be seen every week. It’s one of the primary exercises of this cycle. We had it in previous cycles as a primary exercise as well. However this time we are looking for heavy lifting. Only 3 working sets in 10- minutes:

Warm-up Sets: 1 to 3 :

Warm-up Set 1: 10 reps – Easy
Warm-up Set 2: 5 reps – Easy
Warm-up Set 3: 5 reps – RPE 6

Working Sets:

Set 1 – 5 reps
Set 2 – 5 reps – higher weight
Set 3 – 5 reps – higher weight

Loading Note: Since we will see this exercise every Monday, record your weight and increase it next week.

Beginners should stay at not less than 8 reps per set.
