Floor Press 5-5-5-5-5

Notes:
Protocol for warm-up sets and reps– increase weight evenly from empty bar/light loads to working loads. Once athlete(s) are adequately warmed-up and ready complete the five sets of five repetitions for the Floor Press.
Climb in weight as able, provided learning is facilitated as a priority and the work volume is capable of being executed well and with attention to detail regarding ‘points of performance’.
It is advisable to approach today’s training without any prior expectations, any loads lifted should not be determined utilizing Bench Press capabilities.

Post sets/weights to comments.

Notes: The Burpee today moves from the prone position on the deck (floor) through a push-up and into a jump with arms extended overhead. Both hands must touch the Rig/Pull-up Bar at the top of the repetition for it to be effectively completed. Scaled movements for Toes-2-Bar have three movement options at differing levels of difficulty/challenge.
