II. Set-up, Training Flow & Movement Review (Additional emphasis on wrist /forearm mobility)

Impact/Focus: GHD Flexion & Extension + HS Skill Build
Today’s Impact/Focus training may be structured as 1:00 per each of the three movements shown below OR with a 3:00 clock to allow athletes proficient in these movements a chance to expeditiously hustle through the core movements in order to allow more time for the HS Skill Work (ie a pace which does not omit quality movement execution). Both of these formats are described;

5 Rounds of I. or II. (see below)

I. ‘Developing the Movement(s)’ Format
5 Rounds for Quality of
1:00 x 10-15 reps of GHD Sit-ups
1:00 x 10-15 reps of GHD Extensions
1:00 x Handstand Skills

*Building on last week’s Shoulder Taps + Freestanding/Wall/Support Holds (vs. walks).
**Athletes will have time to work through the set/improve technique, and rest/transition in a more controlled manner than II.

II. ‘Capacity’ Format
5 Rounds for Quality of
VS. a 3:00 Running Clock, complete each set unbroken;
18 x GHD Sit-ups
18 x Back Extensions / 8 x GHR’s
Time Remaining: Time working static handstand holds, palm lifts, shoulder taps

*Building on last week’s Shoulder Taps + Freestanding/Wall/Support Holds (vs. walks).
**Athletes work through the core movements quickly and as unbroken as possible vs. the 3:00 clock, all time remaining may be utilized to work on HS Skills. Work/rest as needed during the skill portion.

Warm-up Drills
I. Coach’s Choice (Dynamics, Rounds & Reps, Games, etc.)
II. Set-up, Training Flow & Movement Review

Impact/Focus: Press & Push Press
Every :90 x 10 Rounds, work through the following…

Press x 5-4-3-2-1
Push Press x 5-4-3-2-1
(*climb weight as able)

Notes: Climb across sets of Press as able, hitting as heavy as climb and as close to a 1RM as able within the additional pressure of the time intervals. Once the movement changes to the Push Press we are looking to sustain or continue to climb weight as athletes feel the intended transition of strict strength + the aspect of leverage gained through positioning and dynamic movement aspects that are foundational to the Push Press (aka ‘it’s all in the hips’). Reference training via leverage dynamics
