Pull a sled by extending your hips. Hold on to the strap but do NOT use your arms to pull, your posterior chain should do all the work. 
For the row, face away from the sled and sit as you pull the straps towards your ribs. Focus on scapular retraction.

Sled Pull Thru and Row

Start laying prone with arms out in front in a V. Lift arms with thumbs up 10 times, thumbs down x 10, arms bent at 90° x 10, then Superman press x 10

Shoulder Mobility Routine

- Grab a pull up bar with a medium overhand grip
- Lean back slightly and engage the lats as you pull your chin above the bar
- Lower under control until your arms are almost straight, but not to a dead hang un-packed position

Pull Ups

- Sit on the ground with a bench behind you, bending your knees so your feet are planted on the ground and holding a barbell resting below your hips
- Lean back so your shoulders are on the bench and position the bar above your hips
- Drive your hips up lifting the bar
- In the top position your knees should be bent at 90° and your shoulders should be near the top of the bench, with your body forming a straight line between them
- Pause at the top of the lift and squeeze your glutes
- Lower your hips slowly 
- Do not over arch thru the spine

Push Ups

German Volume Push/Pull BW circuit

Plank Finisher

• 1 minute front
• 30 seconds each side
• 30 seconds superman
– 30 second rest
X 2 rounds
Advanced athletes should omit the 30 second rest

- Lie facedown on the floor with elbows directly under shoulders and forearms in front of you
- Tighten your abs as you raise up onto elbows and toes with the weight of your body spread evenly among toes and elbows
- Maintain a straight line from head to heels  (No saggy bottom or bottom raised to the sky!)
- Hold this position for desired time

*The most important thing to remember about a plank position is to keep your abs flexed and do not allow your hips to sag
If your abdominals relax and hips lower, you are putting your lower back at risk

Front Plank

Keep your back straight and feet even. Bridge up and reach your top hand towards the ceiling

Side Plank

- Lay face down on the mat with your hands overhead and in front of you
- Arch up slightly as you lift your hands off the ground, engaging your gluten, erectors, and upper back
- Keep your thighs off the floor slightly and your head in a neutral position as you hold for the prescribed time
