FOR THE COACH

‍

Stimulus 

• Workout brief: https://youtu.be/TmXJrz5mx5o
• Resource Links:  CompTrain Gym Resource Drive
• In today’s Hero workout we’re looking for heavy deadlift, but one that does not exceed 85% of your 1RM. The toes to bar should be complete in no more than 2 sets. We’re aiming to complete around 10 rounds here: 2:00 rounds (deadlift and toes to bar on one minute and burpees on the other )
• Deadlift | Heavy. 85% of 1RM. 
• TTB | 2 sets or less. Under :45
• Burpees | Complete in :60

‍

The One | Teaching Focus

• Press the earth away

• Today’s critical teaching point is to focus on standing the deadlift up by driving the legs hard into the ground which is what creates elevation on the bar. Teach athletes how to execute the deadlift as a leg press more than a hinge. Cue driving the heels hard into the ground to begin the lift. 

‍

Modifications

• Reduce load
• Elevate pulling surface

‍

Logistics

• Today’s workout involves a load and volume that can be challenging and also pairs with some risk for the athletes. It’s very important as a coach to ensure proper mechanics as our athletes choose the right load for today’s deadlift. Build it into your lesson plan to spend some time reiterating the need for quality movement before increasing the load. Athletes should consider “RX” to be whatever allows them to lift as heavy as possible with no deviation from proper mechanics. 
• Organize your room so that athletes can quickly and safely transfer from movement to movement.

Mindset 

“If failure is not an option, neither is success.”

We fear the one who is willing to lose it all. The one who is willing to play full out with no reserves. The one who swings for the fences.

That’s a dangerous person. Dangerous enough… to accomplish something great.

We all have a comfort zone. A status quo. It’s warm, cozy, and familiar. But it’s a box, with a ceiling and walls that we can see and touch. It’s a world that cannot grow further than what it’s already grown to.

If we want to grow, we have to climb out of that world into the unknown. To face that chance that we may fall flat on our face, because we’re walking in new ground. Yet, as much as a “swing and a miss” may sting a bit, there’s something far worse. Worse than any of that is the pain of knowing that we didn’t try.

Life is so short.

There’s no time to bunt.

Let’s swing for the fences.
