PHYSICAL PREP
[ All Weights and Sets @ RPE6 -- See Dr. Nick's Rehab Guide for help on RPE ]

GPP Stands for General Physical Preparedness. This circuit is designed to amplify the rest of your body.

Do as many QUALITY reps as you can within the time provided!

Note: The movements that are "repeated" in the circuit because they are done one side at a time. The movement will say either "right" or "left" which will help you keep track of which side you've already done!

- Start in plank position, use a kettlebell ideally (a dumbbell or plate can work too)
- Pull the weight across your body to the opposite side
- Maintain the plank while pulling the weight
- Further away from the body will increase the challenge, as will increasing the weight

Kettlebell Pull Through Plank

[SET 1] RIGHT LEG
[SET 2] LEFT LEG
- Standing one leg
- Use something for balance
- Try to go through full range of motion heel raise
- Then go back to a full range of motion toe raise
- Try not to use too much momentum
- Hold something for balance

Unilateral Heel and Toe Raise

- Begin in plank position on your forearms
- Press through your forearms, and lift your upper back up to the ceiling
- Keep contact with your forearms and the ground
- Return in a controlled manner back to the start

W2/D3 Week 2: Day 3

It is myself that needs to improve. The Rear Elevated foot split squats really hurt my knee. I only did 2 sets.
I just started the app, so I am not sure I can give a thorough review.
