Workout Overview

Stimulus

In part 1, The goal of today's plyometric work is to improve quickness through controlled, explosive, quick efforts.   Tap the plate rapidly while maintaining posture and rhythm. Keep hips stable, arms controlled, and foot contacts light and fast. This drill sharpens foot speed, coordination, and ankle stiffness for agility and change-of-direction performance.

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. Work at a percentage that allows for minimal pausing between reps.

In part 3, this one’s going to light up your shoulders and legs, fast. Expect a deep burn in round two and a real mental challenge to keep moving. If double-unders are a challenge, pace early so you can maintain a good rhythm. 

Scoring

Score: Time

Movements

Intended Intensity: RPE 7-8 

Target Loading: Light-Moderate 

Fitness Attributes Improved: VO2 Max & Muscular Endurance

Target Score: 10-13 Minutes 

Use two dumbbells for the push press. Choose a weight and variation that allows you to complete the push press and lunges in at least sets of 10. Choose a double under variation you can complete within 1:00. 

Jumping Lunges: There is no requirement for how high you jump between lunges, but you must reach full knee extension of the front leg before switching feet. Your back knee should just barely touch the ground. Don't slam your knee into the ground. Alternate legs every rep.

The One | Teaching Focus

Elbows High

The teaching focus for today’s workout is to maintain high elbows throughout the front squats. By doing so, athletes will improve the efficiency and safety of their movement. High elbows will serve to keep the torso upright and the bar over the frontal plane. 

Strategies

Break the early set of push press into 2-3 sets if your shoulders start to fatigue. We want to set ourselves up to do the round of 20 in as few sets as possible. 

Stay smooth and consistent through the jumping lunges to manage heart rate and preserve your legs for jumping on the double 

Keep your rope transitions smooth and tight and aim to go unbroken on double-unders if possible, but don’t let misses spike frustration. If your heart rate is high, break the double unders into 2 sets.
