Happy Sunday!

This is the last day before the challenge begins tomorrow! I am choosing to use this day as a rest day but have uploaded one of my favorite full body amraps for those of you who are feeling good and would like to move at little. Be sure to adjust weight accordingly if you are choosing to train today so you feel ready to roll tomorrow! 

Warm Up: foam roll, Full body warm up and activation routine from app and/or 10-15 mins steady state cardio

Click the ‘start now’ button to find the training day overview.

Full Body: 

Instruction: 

First complete: 
1a. Deadlifts: 4S/2-4$
1b. Plank: 4S/30 seconds
**Rest 120 seconds between sets. 

**You may choose to skip the deadlift/plank sets at the start of this training day and replace it with 15-20 minutes steady state cardio [stair stepper, bike, rower, elliptical, etc… if you choose].**

Once you have completed the deadlifts/plank sets (or steady state cardio) set your timer for 30 minutes and complete the giant set below in an AMRAP fashion. This means you will get through as many rounds as possible of the giant set below, within the 40 minute time frame. Rest as needed (but minimally) within this time. Reps/time for each movement written in below. Use the modifications as needed. 

2. Kettlebell Overhead Walking Lunges: 1 minute
3. Barbell Hang Clean: 10R 
4. Plate Push: 1 minute
5. Dead Ball Toss: 10R total
6. Single Sided Farmer’s Carry: 1 minute total (30 seconds each side)
7. Toes to bar: 10R

7/17 Training Day Overview

Rep Range: 2-4R
Tempo: power
Modification trap bar/sumo deadlift, or DB/KB 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: 30 seconds
Tempo: iso hold
Modification: no weight, high plank [on hands] or plank on knees. 

Set Up:
- position a weight plate on your back
- get into a low plank position, position your elbows under your shoulders. 
- tuck your pelvis, squeeze your glutes, and contract the quads to hold the brace. 
- push your mid back through your scap 

Execution: 
- hold this position. 
- your body should stay in a straight line [watch for the hips rising or falling throughout]

Plank Hold

Compound Set

Time: 1 minute
Tempo: Steady
Modification: dumbbell overhead walking lunges, or walking lunges with weight by your sides. 

Set Up: 
- grab a kettlebell in each hand and press them into an overhead position
- pin the scap down to help support your shoulders with your lats, and think “ribs down” in this overhead position [watch for a “rib flare”. If your ribs flare out, you are likely not bracing your core correctly. Tuck the ribs and it will help you brace. 
- start with your feet together. 

Execution: 
- step one foot out, plant the foot on the ground and lower into a lunge position. 
- drive through the front foot and the ball of your foot on the back foot and bring the back foot to meet the front. 
- alternating legs as you lunge forward, keeping the arms pinned overhead.

Kettlebell Overhead Walking Lunges

Rep Range: 10R
Tempo: steady
Modification: Dumbbell Hang Clean

Set Up: 
- grip the barbell with a pronated gip, shoulder width or slightly outside of shoulder width. 
- stance is hip width or slightly inside. 
- begin standing with the arms extended down in front of your torso, bar resting on your mid quad. 

Execution: 
- bend the chest forward slightly to gain momentum and use your quads to bounce the barbell off of as you shrug the bar to your high chest, collarbone. 
- as you shrug the bar up, rotate the elbows forward and “catch” the bar in a “clean” or front squat grip. [high chest/collarbone]
- lower the barbell with control and continue reps.

Barbell Hang Clean

Time: 1 minute
Tempo: steady
Modification: inchworm walkouts or bear crawl. 

Set Up: 
- choose an appropriately heavy plate that will slide across the ground
- begin in a table top position, knees hovering off the ground 

Execution: 
- use your palm to push the plate forward
- as you push the plate forward, step your feet forward, driving through the balls of your feet each time. 
- knees should stay off the ground. 
- alternate each hand as you push the plate forward. 
- keep the core braced so your spine stays neutral as you move in this position.

Plate Push

Rep Count: 10R total 
Tempo: steady
Modification: Kettlebell or Dumbbell swings

Set Up: 
- use an appropriately heavy deadball
- position it on the ground in from of you, between your feet. 

Execution: 
- squat down [keep a neutral spine, upright chest] and grab the ball with both hands
- shrug the ball up to one shoulder and drop it behind your body. [this is a “dead ball” so it should not bounce or roll away from you”]
- immediately turn your body around to face the ball and repeat the movement, only this time drop the ball over your opposite shoulder. 
- make sure to use your legs and hips to lift the ball and get it to your shoulder. 
*if you feel this in your low back too much you are likely bending over too far to pick up the ball, or the ball is too heavy.

Dead Ball Toss

Time: 1 minute total [30 seconds each side]
Tempo: steady
Modification: both arms farmer’s carry

Set Up: 
- grip a heavy dumbbell in one hand 
- begin in a standing position with feet together, extend the arm without the dumbbell straight out to the side, for balance. 
- being unilaterally weighted means you must use your core to balance the weight as you walk, think “ribs down” and use your core to keep a stiff trunk and keep the hips facing forward as you walk. 

Execution: 
- take small steps forward. 
- focus on balancing the weight through your trunk. 
- switch sides half way through [30 seconds each side]

Single Arm Farmers Carry

Rep Count: 10R 
Tempo: steady
Modification: hanging knee raise or straight leg raise, or v ups

Set Up: 
- grip the pull up bar with both hands. [thumbs wrapped over or under bar]
- begin in a hanging hollow position [legs extended down, toes in front of the torso, glutes squeezed, core braced]

Execution: 
- depress the scapula and activate your lats. 
- use your lats to pull your torso back and raise the legs until the toes tap, or get close to tapping, the bar. 
- release the legs back down with control. 
- fight against any swinging. Brace the core correctly will help with this.
