Workout Overview

Stimulus

In part 1, we are focusing on being as explosive as we can.  Every two minutes you will complete 6 total lateral slams and 2 max distance broad jumps.  We are aiming to be as explosive and powerful as we can here. 

In part 2, This is the sixth week of our 8-week Base Camp strength cycle, Your working sets should land within the suggested percentage range. The percentages are based on your 1RM conventional deadlift. Work at a percentage that allows for minimal pausing between reps.

In part 3, We're working through three 2-minute intervals with 1 minute of rest between intervals. The deadlift weight should be light enough for unbroken sets throughout. This will likely leave you with around 90 seconds to row. With the deadlifts being light and short windows with rest built in, look to push the pace on the rower.  

Scoring

Score: Total Row Calories

Movements

Intended Intensity: RPE 7-8

Target Loading: Light (30%) 

Fitness Attribute Improved: Aerobic Power [VO2 Max]

Target Score: 70-120 Calories 

The One | Teaching Focus

"Chest Up"

Common Fault: Rounding of the back or slouching the chest.

Instruct athletes to brace their core and lift their chest before initiating the lift.

This protects the spine and helps maintain a neutral back throughout the movement.

Strategies

Deadlifts: Go unbroken on the deadlifts. These should feel light and snappy and leave ample time for rowing. These are just meant to pre-fatigue the muscles.

Row: Settle into an aggressive but steady pace. Aim for consistent calories across all rounds. Don’t sprint the first round and fall off.

Control your breathing between intervals, focusing on big, deep inhales and long exhales. Keep moving around to help flush the waste products building up in the legs.

Specific Warm-Up
(9-21 minutes)

(9-22 minutes)

Sumo Deadlift | Tell, Show, Do, Check

  • Establish stance, grip, & set up
  • Wide stance with feet slightly turned out (likely 2x squat stance)
  • Bar over the middle of the foot
  • Full grip on bar with hands inside legs
  • Bar in contact with shins
  • Shoulders on top of bar
  • Chest up
  • Eyes forward
  • 5 Cued Reps - Hips to Above Knee
  • Focus: Hips back first in the descent
  • Emphasize driving the hips back while keeping the chest up and bar close to the body.
  • 5 Cued Reps - Above Knee to Mid Shin
  • Focus: Knees out of the way
  • Cue athletes to pull the knees out of the way and control the bar path as it lowers to mid-shin, maintaining tension in the hips.
  • 5 Cued Reps - Mid Shin to Standing
  • Focus: Driving with the legs
  • Ensure the shoulders and hips rise together, with the athlete pushing through the legs until the bar passes the knees.

Lateral Medball Slam + Broad Jump  Warm-Up

  • 8 Medball slams (between feet)
  • Look for athletes to fully extend their hips all the way at the top, before slamming. 
  • 8 Lateral Medball Ground To Overhead
  • Have athletes just tap the ball and lift to overhead laterally.
  • 4 Lateral Medball Slams
  • Encourage athletes to slam with as much power as they can.
  • 4 Broad Jumps at 70%
  • Look for a loft landing from athletes.
  • 2 Broad Jumps at 100%
  • Look for athletes to fully extend their hips as they jump.

Strength
(21-33 minutes)

(22-31 minutes)

  • 3 sets on the 2:00 
  • A cluster set is a technique where you break up a single set into smaller “mini-sets” with a short rest period between them. The short intra-set break allows for better quality reps and greater power output. So instead of performing 4 power clean reps at once, we're performing 2 reps, taking a quick break, then 2 more reps, prioritizing quality over all else.
  • These are intended to be completed as unbroken touch-and-go reps.
  • While completing this drop set, athletes should maintain continuous movement.  Once they feel the need to pause or slow down, their set is done. 
  • To determine where your feet should be, start by finding your squat stance. From there, plant your toes and pivot your heels outward, then pivot your toes out past your heels. While this is not always exact, it's a great starting point!
  • Building Sets: 
  • 5 - 40%
