Description: Lower Body Power Workout

Today’s lower body power workout is specifically for generating power to run faster + jump higher! We will be working out quick twitch muscle fibers + strength! Today’s emphasis is making sure we are moving the bar FAST! 

We will start off with some strength work (BAR SPEED) then move into some sled + acceleration work! Make sure you are hitting our dynamic warmup and maximizing each and every session! Recover and proper warmup is essential for results in any realm of athletic performance💪🏽

- Start with a barbell on your upper back
- Press hips back and lower down until your glutes touch the box
- Press through heels and stand back up
- Do not relax core at the bottom / 3 second count down + DRIVE up (explode) 

Superset with single leg box jumps!

Barbell box squats

- Cycling though each hurdle / exploding onto the box!

- Work on maintaining tall posture / cycling your legs / proper sprint mechanics onto the box! 

- 2 each side / be springy and explosive!

Single Leg Hurdle - Box Jumps

From a hanging position 

Eccentric - 3 seconds down / bar should sit right above knees / pause until partner claps

Once partner claps / snap the bar up / snap underneath bar above 90 degree / catch I. Power position.  

Use 80% of max. Bar should move fast + controlled!

Eccentric reactive hang cleans

- Start with a barbell on your upper back
- Step forward with the first leg and lower down until both knees are at 90 degrees
- Bring back leg even with the first then step forward with this leg
-knee drive at the top of each lunge - sprinter mechanics. Toe should be dorsiflexed! 

5 each leg

Barbell walking lunges

Perform an “A Skip” as we have before with a slight forward lean / as if we are in a drive phase! Push + claw ground away from you!

Sled Push A Skip

From a 2 PT stance perform a sled push for 10 meters - work on your drive phase mechanics! Snapping feet down - clawing ground away from you - drive! 

Make sure we maintain great triple extended body position - I did a poor job demonstrating in video - TALL posture!

Sled Push Starts

- Get into a sprinter stance + hold for 3 seconds as you would for a 40 yard dash / track start 

- Explode linearly onto the mat / weight should be equally distributed into both legs + drive out and accelerate on to the mat!

Sprinter Mat Starts

From a drive forward lean position:

- Push into a bound / make sure each rep we are reaching triple extension! 

- Clawing ground away from us with great strong hips - do not allow your hips to break because you will start “blocking” your stride!
