TEACHING
STRAIGHT BODY
*Let’s focus on keeping the body straight during these three movements:
*Single Arm Alternating Dumbbell Squat Cleans: It is common when cycling squat cleans to bring the weight down off the shoulders a little early. Stand to full extension so the body is in a straight line before switching hands for the next rep.
*Hand Release Push-ups: Every push-up is a plank, but not every plank is a push-up. Aim to keep the body in one straight line as you press out of the bottom. Avoid “worming” by squeezing the belly, butt, and quads tight.
*Double Unders: Think of the body like a pogo stick during the jump. Avoiding any kick forward or backwards of the feet helps you conserve energy for these big sets.
TIPS
*With higher skilled and higher fatigue movements, look to take calculated breaks early and often in this workout
*Sometimes the best way to keep moving forward is to make sure you never burn out in the first place
*Chip away at smaller sets that contribute to the overall workload
*Consider the following option for 50 reps
1 Set: 50
2 Sets: 25-25 or 30-20
3 Sets: 25-15-10
4 Sets: 15-15-10-10
5 Sets: 10’s
6 Sets: 10-10-8-8-7-7
10 Sets: 5’s
Consider the following options for 100 reps
1 Set: 100
2 Sets: 50-50

DAILY MINDSET

 

“How wonderful it is that nobody needs to wait a single minute before starting to improve the world.”

~Anne Frank

Written by one of the most courageous of girls, who experienced first hand what monstrocity is. A victim to the Holocaust, she had every reason in the world to turn to hate. To turn to blame. To turn away from everything that is humanity. Yet she chose a different path.

Be the change we want to see in this world
