FOR THE COACH

Stimulus 

• Workout brief: https://youtu.be/aTetfHzTtMk
• Resource Links:  CompTrain Gym Resource Drive
• Following week 2 of our strict press we have a lower body sprint workout with “Callback”. Lower body push on the row, the deadlift, and box jumps. We want a light weight on the deadlift that you can complete in no more than 2 sets each round, but ideally unbroken. Each station should take no longer than :60. 
• Row | :60 or less
• Deadlifts | Light load. :60 or less
• Box Jumps | :60 or less

‍

The One | Teaching Focus

• Straight bar 

• Teaching focus today is to move the bar in a straight line from the shoulders to overhead, and then overhead back to the shoulders. This applies to the weightlifting strict press and deadlift in the workout. Cue athletes to get their chin out of the way and to pull back on the bar as they press. 

‍

Modifications

Row

• Reduce volume 
• Sub machine 

S2O 

• Reduce load 
• Sub DBs
• Assign push press specifically to mitigate skill blocker

Box jumps 

• Reduce height 
• Reduce volume 
• Step ups 

‍

Logistics

• In part 1, pair athletes up with height being a consideration. It’s difficult for athletes to take a strict press from the rack if they’re working with athletes significantly taller than they are. There will be time in the sets for athletes to change loads. 
• In part 2, manage your class so that no one is ever waiting on equipment at any station. If you run two groups you can start athletes at different stations. Teach athletes how to share boxes if that is going to be necessary today. 
• Set up your room so that athletes can complete each movement safely. Pay particular attention to the barbells being far enough from the boxes.

Mindset 

“Head, Heart, Hands.” - Jim Kwik

‍

Every action originates as a thought in our head. But from there, thoughts of course don’t just materialize into existence in front of us. It doesn’t go “head to hands”. There’s a step between that decides if it’s going to actually happen: heart.

It’s the emotional connection. Our level of buy-in. We could have the most grandiose plan of all time, but if we aren’t bought in with our heart in full… we know it will never work.

It’s less about what we’re doing, and more about why we’re doing it. Our success is less about “which path”, and more about the level of commitment we bring to it.

As we move through our day, let’s consider this concept of Head, Heart, Hands. If we find ourselves struggling with something… a specific career, a relationship, a lifestyle… What is causing it? Are we bought in?

Head, Heart, Hands. 

Our reasons are what will reap our results.
