Warm-Up

10 Lat Activations

Strength

Focus on Quality for 20 minutes:

3×10 Strict Toes to Bar

5×3 Bridge Wall Walks – DEMO

3×5 Knee to Squat Jump – DEMO

 Notes:  Ideally you will perform all sets/reps of one movement before moving onto the next movement.   Rest as needed between sets, remember, this is for QUALITY!  For the T2B, use a spotter to help if needed to perform a full ROM and hopefully all 10 reps unbroken.  Again, use a spotter for the wall walks as needed and stay in your comfort zone.  If you cannot perform the Knee to Squat Jumps, perform 5 box jumps and increase the height to something that makes you focus and work on being explosive!

Go Big!

So now that the EIE Challenge sign-up details are upon us, we’ve received a lot of questions based on what kind of goals to set. If you look at yesterday’s post, Diso wrote what we are looking for out of your proposed goals: Specific and Measurable. Now based on that, how do you go about deciding what goals YOU should set for yourself? Some of you may struggle finding something that clicks. Although 6 weeks may seem like a small amount of time, the goal for the challenge itself is to see how capable you are of change within this amount of time. Our program is designed to allow you to be successful from all aspects of health and fitness, so use it! Go to barbell club, track night or swim night and see what you are capable of! Maybe you want to PR by 15 pounds on your snatch or decrease your body fat % by 5%. Whatever it is, I encourage you to shoot for the f-ing stars, go big and dedicate yourself to achieve your goal. At the end, we want you to see what you can accomplish in 6 weeks. Get after and don’t look back!
