Mobility/Prehab:

2 Rounds of:
Olympic Wall Squat
, 1 minute

Fire Hydrants, 15 per side
Hanging Lat Activations, 15 reps (use varying grips)
3 Way Pistols, 5 each leg

Notes:  This will be performed as a group starting right at the beginning of class.

Classic Strength:  

5 x 5 High Bar Back Squat

Notes:  We were born with traps so we could put a bar on them!  Get acquainted with this, the greatest barbell exercise of all time.  Upright torso, shoulders pulled back, elbows down at the start.  Hips descend down and back as the knees flare out, anchoring your hamstrings to your calves, then explosively driving up with the chest.

Advanced Strength:  

5 x 3 High Bar Back Squat, 75%, 90 seconds rest

Notes:  This should be challenging, but doable.  No misses.

Classic Conditioning:  

3 Rounds for time
7 Burpee Pull ups
20 DB Snatch + Overhead Lunge (10L + 10R)
40 Jump Overs (one jump = one rep)

Notes:  Perform all 10 snatches with one arm before switching sides. Use something to jump over that allows you to bound quickly (like jumping rope)

Advanced Conditioning:

3 Rounds for time
5 Muscle ups
20 Kettlebell Snatch + Overhead Lunge, 24/16 (10L + 10R)
40 Double unders 
-16 minute cap-

Notes:  Perform all 10 snatches with one arm before switching sides. 

Cool down:

Down Dog Ankle Stretch, 20 per side
Hip extension with band, 1 minute per side
PVC Dislocates, 20 reps

This week I am going to light up another long time member who tends to fly under the radar.  He joined us almost 2 years ago, with too much strength for his own good, and no technique whatsoever.  Today he is one of the coolest, humblest, funnest, most down to earth guys I’ve ever met.  He’s always smiling and working hard, and he’s probably said all of 10 words to me since 2011, a fact I am going to fix pronto.  Thanks for sticking with us this long Mike Doremus.
