FOR THE COACH
Stimulus
- Workout brief: https://youtu.be/JCOBJg3j4cs
- Resource Links: CompTrain Gym Resource Drive
- Today we have a great, fully body workout with a monostructural buy-in and cash-out on the rower and 7 round couplet in-between. The first row should be a managed effort so that the athlete can get straight to work on the couplet. In the couplet the TTB should be completed unbroken or in 2 quick sets. The second row should be completed at a more aggressive effort than the first row since it’s the finish line of the workout. The couplet portion of the workout should take athletes less than 12:00.
- Row | 4:00 or less
- Toes to Bar | 1-2 quick sets
- Front Squats | Light to moderate. Unbroken
The One | Teaching Focus
Row slower to row better
- Today we want to show athletes how they can maximize their efficiency on the rower by managing their SPM and power output. Better quality, slower pulls often leads to better performance.

Mindset
“Don’t bunt. Aim out of the ballpark.” – David Oglivy
One of the most dangerous things we can do in life is to dream too small.
When we dig to the root of what causes this, we find that it’s fear.
We can convince ourselves that it’s too big of a goal. That it’s out of reach. That in and of itself, is the death of the dream. A self-fulfilling prophecy from that point forward, as we can’t accomplish what we can’t believe.
So it starts with that: belief. Belief that we can learn the skills, build the capacity, and hone the craft. Having the dream is only a part of the equation, and it will only come second to having the belief. The belief that you deserve to step up to the plate, and put the ball over the fences.
