FOR THE COACH

Stimulus 

• Workout brief: https://youtu.be/VPXuhrubuio
• Resource Links:  CompTrain Gym Resource Drive
• Medium to long range grind, meaning that we want to pace ourselves in the front half of this hero workout in order to be able to maintain or kick it up a notch in the back half. 
• Pull-up | 4:00 or less each 
• 400 Meter Run | 2:30 or less 
• 800 Meter Run |  5:00 or less 
• Thrusters | Light. 2:00 or less. 2 sets or less.

‍

The One | Teaching Focus 

• Push the rig, pull the rig 

• With 100 pull ups today we’ll focus on the mechanics of the kip. Even if many of your athletes modify to ring rows or jumping pull ups today, the teaching focus and drills will help them improve their coordination and skill with the kip swing. The focus here is to “push and pull” the rig to keep the pull up shoulder initiated rather than hip initiated. 

‍

Modifications

Pull ups

• Reduce volume
• Banded
• Strict
• Ring Rows
• Alternating Dumbbell Plank Rows

400M/800M Run

‍

Logistics

• If you need to manage a large class today, you can do so by running this workout in two heats. Starting one group 3:00-4:00 behind should be enough to allow athletes to share rig space and barbells. 
• It’s a good idea to take some time to recognize the reasoning behind why we do Hero workouts. You can take this a step further and share information specifically about “Daniel”, who this hero workout is named after.

‍

Workout (25 Minutes) (30-55)

Look For 

• Pull Ups | Pushing and pulling the bar. Cue athletes to push and pull the rig to keep the kip initiated through the shoulder and not by swinging the legs. 
• Run | Pacing. Encourage athletes to maintain a consistent pace on the run. If they’re having to walk, encourage them to modify distance to something that allows them to push the pace. 
• Thrusters | Cue athletes to be patient in their press. Look for athletes to finish the extension of the legs and hips before pressing the bar overhead. Look for athletes to keep the bar over the middle of the foot through the rep.

Mindset 

“Do not fear failure. But be terrified of regret.” - Ashley Soughtley Spaulding

‍

The reality of life is that we will hear more “no’s” than “yes’s”.

And we will fail.

A lot.

‍

But despite the hundreds of doors closed on our phase, the hundreds of times we are told “no way”, they will never haunt us. What we will regret will be the instances where we gave up. Where we told *ourselves” no.

‍

We don’t fear failure… we welcome it. It’s where the learning occurs. Where the real magic happens.
