5/28 Training Day Overview

Rep Count: 3R
Tempo: steady 
Modification: goblet squat

Set Up: 
- set the bar at an appropriate height for you to set up underneath. 
- grip the bar wider than shoulder width (grip will depend on your personal mobility)
- wrap your thumbs over or under the bar, use a tight grip 
- retract the scapula and squeeze as you pull yourself underneath the bar 
- position the bar on your back on your high, mid, or low back [whichever is more optimal for you]
- step your feet under the bar
- activate your lats by pulling the bar into your traps and stand up as you un rack the barbell. 
*elbows should be as close to vertical, under the bar as possible- watch for them flaring out
- take ~3 steps back, get into your squat stance [toes forward or slightly out]
 *stance should be whatever is most optimal for you to achieve the best quality reps.
- think about having a “tripod grip” on the ground with your feet (big toe, little toe, heel)

Execution: 
- take a big, bracing breath 
- hinge at the hips, keep the chest high, bend your knees and push them out 
- lower into a full range of motion squat [90 degrees or below]
- drive your feet through the floor and press up
- snap your hips in and return to the standing position. 
- keep your chest up and knees in line with your toes. 
- bar should travel in a straight line

Squat

Time: 30 seconds 
Tempo: steady 

Set Up: 
- grip a set of heavy kettlebells or dumbbells in each hand. 
- pin them by your sides
- keep a neutral spine, chest out, and brace the core. 
- this is another instance to think “ribs down” to fight against the rib flare [rib flare can be cause by an anterior pelvic tilt as well, make sure the pelvis is neutral]

Execution: 
- grip the kettlebells with a “death grip” and brace the core as you step forward and carry the kettlebells/dumbbells  
- time yourself and see how long you are able to carry the kettlebells/dumbbells before your grip gives out. 
- use your core to manage the tension in your forearms. 
- use your lats to lock the dumbbells in place and keep them from swinging  or swaying as you walk.

Farmer’s Carry

Rep Count: 10R
Tempo: steady 
Modification: barbell rollout, or plank walkout

- get down into a kneeling position and grip each side of the ab roller handles. 
- depress your scapula and pin them down to keep control of the movement through your lats (and keep the movement from wrecking your shoulders)
- lock in a slight bend in the elbows (slight) 
- squeeze your glutes to help maintain control. 

Execution: 
- slowly roll the ab wheel forward and away from your body. 
- roll the ab wheel out only so far that you still feel in control of the movement through your core, and your lats feel fully stretched but still engaged. 
- the goal is to keep a neutral spine as you roll the wheel out into an extended position.
- your body should be a straight line in the extended position at the bottom of the rep, hips should be in line with the spine/torso (pretend you have no butt). 
- keep arms locked, pull and roll the barbell back in towards your quads. 
- round your back slightly at the top of each rep to help finish the contraction in your core and lats together, each time 
- use a plank walkout to modify this movement, use a barbell rollout to sub for the ab wheel.

Ab Rollout

Rep Count: 5R
Tempo: steady 
Modification: hanging leg raise, ab machine leg raise/bent leg raise, OR cocoons. 

Set Up: 
- grip the pull up bar with pronated grip about shoulder width apart or just outside
- allow your body to hang from the bar, arms and legs extended. 
- start in a hanging hollow position, this means ‘ribs down’, core braced, and feet hanging down but in front of your torso [like a hollow hold position on the floor, but hanging] 

Execution: 
- depress your scapula and lift your knees to your chest together
- when your knees are at chest level, extend your legs and lift your toes the rest of the way to tap the bar. 
- release with control until your arms and legs are fully extended again. 
- make sure to allow your lats to pull your torso back as you raise your legs, this will help you keep control of your brace and use your core to life your lower body.

Hanging Curl Up Toes to Bar

Giant Set 1: 25 minute AMRAP

Rep Count: 3R
Tempo: power
Modification: dumbbell or kettlebell deadlift 

**feel free to sub the deadlift for sumo or trap bar deadlift. 

Set Up: 
 - load the bar with an appropriate weight for the rep count. 
- position the bar so it is in line with/above “mid shoelace “
- take a hip width stance or slightly inside. (feel free to play around with stance, your mobility will play a large role in the width of your stance)
- create a tripod foot with your feet (think about connecting/pressing through the base of your big toe, little toe, and heel) 
- with a neutral spine, hinge (push) the hips back and bend forward to grip the barbell. 
- grip the barbell with a pronated grip (feel free to use straps), hook grip, or an under/overhand grip. (Use a “death grip” on the bar)
- grip should be just outside of the hips
- activate the lats by depressing the scapula (shoving them down and pinning them there) and think about breaking the bar around your body to create tension.
*as you do this the bar should be pulled right up to your shins.
- keep head/neck/spine neutral

Execution: 
- take a bracing breath, expand your core 3D
- keep a neutral spine, and press your feet through the ground. 
- leg press the weight up until the bar is at knee level 
- as soon as the bar reaches the knees use the torque snap your hips in and stand the rest of the way. (think about your knees externally rotating, but don’t actually rotate, and push the hips in)
- contract the entire posterior chain and keep it tight, make sure to reach full hip extension at the top of the rep, but don’t hyperextend through the low back
- lower the bar with control, keep the bar as close to your body as possible. 
- Reset your breath in between each rep.

Deadlift

Time: 1 minute 
Tempo: steady 
Modification: bear crawl, sled push, deadmill. 

Set Up: 
- position a plate on the ground in front of you
- get down on the ground in front of the plate in table top position [quadruped, all fours- chest down] 

Execution: 
- step one foot to the side of the plate 
- place one hand on the edge of the plate 
- extend your leg and push the plate forward as you step the other leg forward and plant your foot next to the other side of the plate. 
- continue to alternate sides as you push the plate forward.

Plate Push

Rep Count: 10R total 
Tempo: steady 
Modification: alternating overhead press

Set Up: 
- position one dumbbell on the ground in front of you
- get into a wider than hip width stance, toes pointing forward, with the dumbbell positioned on the ground in between your feet

Execution: 
- keep a neutral spine and push your hips back as you bend forward and grip the dumbbell with one hand
- use explosive movement to life the dumbbell up and overhead in a ‘snatch’ motion [bend the elbow, shrug, and press overhead]
- extend your arm at the top, dumbbell in line with your shoulder
- lower the dumbbell all the way to the ground with control 
- alternate sides as you move through each rep.

Alternating Dumbbell Snatch

Rep Count: 5R
Tempo: steady 
Modification: no weight, standard burpee and/or do not bring your chest to the ground- take the hop out of the top. 

Set Up: 
- grip a dumbbell in each hand, neutral grip 
- stand in a hip width stance with dumbbells at your sides. 

Execution: 
- push your hips back, bend your knees and lower your dumbbells to the ground. 
- jump your feet back into a high plank position 
- immediately bring your chest and hips to touch the ground. 
- press your hands through the dumbbells, lift your hips and jump your feet back in towards the dumbbells 
- keep the dumbbells locked by your sides as you raise your torso upright and add an explosive hop at the top of the rep.
