FOR THE COACH

‍

Stimulus 

• Workout brief: https://youtu.be/PDYD9iL5Hg8
• Ben’s Warm Up |   https://youtu.be/5B4dvCylLo4
• Resource Links:  CompTrain Gym Resource Drive
• Today’s workout is full body while primarily targeting the posterior chain and midline conditioning. Athletes will likely feel this one in the hamstrings with the long runs combined with deadlifts. We’re looking for a moderate to heavy deadlift that you can complete with 60 seconds per set.
• Score | Total time to complete work.
• Deadlift | Moderate to heavy. :60 per set.
• Sit-ups | 1:30 or less
• Runs | 9:00 cap each 

‍

The One | Teaching Focus

• Leg drive 

• With the kind of volume we’re doing today at a moderate to heavy load, it’s critical that athletes focus on driving through the heels to stand the bar up, rather than simply hinging at the hip as they cycle reps. Help athletes understand that the deadlift is performed by “pushing the ground away” through the legs. 

‍

Modifications

Deadlift 

• Reduce load
• Reduce volume 
• Elevated deadlift 
• Sub DB/KB

Run

• 3200m Bike 
• 2k Row 
• 1280m Ski
• 1200m Air Runner

Abmat sit ups

• Reduce volume
• Hollow Rocks 
• Band assisted 

‍

Logistics

• If you need to manage a large class today by pairing athletes up,  you can have some athletes alternate the order of their couplet and have some begin with the sit ups first. Since athletes should be modifying the deadlift to a load they can complete within :60 each set, this format should allow for pairing up.

Workout (30 Minutes (25-55)

Look For 

• Deadlift | Driving through the legs to stand the barbell up. Some cues that might help are: “Chest up”, “Drive through the heels”, “Drop your hips”. 
• Run | Timing. If athletes seem to be significantly off the timeframe in the first mile, encourage modifying the distance and keeping the effort high for the second mile.

Mindset 

“No one was ever wise by chance.” – Seneca

‍

Let’s pretend we have two individuals out hiking in the woods. 

The first trips over a root, and after scrambling back to his feet, kicks the root in frustration and storms off. The second individual  trips over the very same root as well, but has a different response. After gathering himself, he looks around, refreshing himself of the importance to scan the path ahead. He then moves on, now paying closer attention to the ground in front of him.

One took the effort to learn from it, one did not. 

Wisdom isn’t by chance. It is by choice.
