Workout Overview

Stimulus

Today we have the option to perform “Chad” - a Veterans day tradition on CompTrain - or another Hero workout of your choice if you do not have the time for this longer workout.  We have 3 weight options provided today of varying difficulty.  If this is an athlete's first time doing “Chad” we recommend completing it as L1 or L2.

Strategies

The One | Teaching Focus

Chest Up

When performing box step-ups, maintaining an upright chest is key to proper form and maximizing efficiency. Keeping your chest up helps engage your core, protect your lower back, and distribute the workload evenly across your legs. Focus on driving through your heel and standing tall at the top of each rep. Avoid leaning too far forward or letting your chest drop, as this can cause strain on your lower back and reduce the effectiveness of the movement. Keeping your core tight and your chest up ensures safe, strong, and efficient step-ups!

Look For

  • To break up the monotony and keep working through smaller checkpoints, consider switching what side of the box you step up to every 25-50 reps. You can utilize all 4 sides of the box. This essentially makes it 5-10 rotations around the box for 1,000 reps.
