Box Jump

- Start with both hands on a medicine ball in a diamond position
- Drop down with both hands on the side of the ball then explode up once your chest touches the ball
- Catch yourself in the original narrow push up position, pause then repeat

Plyo Push Up - Med Ball Drop Downs

Plyo Warm Up 1

- Lie flat on a bench and set your hands
 slightly wider than shoulder width
- The bar should be directly over the shoulders
- Inhale and allow the bar to descend slowly by unlocking the elbows
- Lower the bar in a straight line to the base of the sternum (breastbone) and touch the chest
- Push the bar back up in a straight line by pressing yourself into the bench, driving your feet into the floor for leg drive, and extending the elbows

Barbell Bench Press

- Grasp the parallel bars and hop up so your arms are straight
- Lean forward at about a 45-degree angle, bend at the waist, so your legs are vertical
- Pull your shoulders down and back
- Maintain this body position throughout the exercise
- Slowly bend your elbows to lower your body into the dip until your upper arms are about parallel to the ground (do not go below parallel)
- Keep your elbows tight to your body
- Straighten your arms to drive your body up to the starting position

Dips - Bodyweight

- Assume a push up position as you place both hands on a medicine ball with your thumbs facing forward and your fingers facing out
- Keep your core tight and body straight as you lower your chest to the Med Ball
- Keep your head in a neutral position and exhale as you press your body back to starting position

Med Ball Push Up

- Lay on the floor or a bench with a set of dumbbells extended over your chest
- Keeping your hands in a neutral position (palms facing in), let your arms drift back slightly and bend your elbows until the weights are on either side of your head
- Immediately extend your arms and bring them back to the starting position

DB Skullcrusher

[GVT Superset] 10 rounds

- Check your step in the middle of each lunge and alternate sides
- Keep chest up and control your descent
- For weighted sets use heavy DBs or KBs

Walking Lunges

W1/D2

Skipped a couple of weeks for vacation, but this brought me back to the grind mentality, thanks coach

Darren

This was ROUGH. A great test of where I’m at physically after not consistently going to the gym over the last year. It kicked my ass. Can’t feel my arms and I really had to pace myself on the treadmill sprints. Really great baseline that I can grow from.

Another great way to start the day! I did 20 minutes on the bike and 20 minutes on the rowing machine. Where is the best place to find your content for nutrition and recipes now? Thank you for sharing all your content! It really helps keep me motivated. Keep up the great work!

Sometimes the summary of the workout is different than the workout once you get into it. The details are different like 5/3/1 reps and sets from the summary to entering the workout. Otherwise I’ve been enjoying the program!
