Warmup

3 min double under practice
1 min plank from elbows
10 good mornings with barbell
10 deadlifts with barbell
10 hanging lat activations

Strength

10 min Partner Strict Pull Up Ladder

Notes: The goal is to get more repetitions than last week! We will be using these ladders to get a high volume of pulling over the next few weeks with some variations. A ladder looks like 1-2-3-4+….reps. Score is total pull ups performed in 10 minutes. Scale to banded pull ups or ring rows. Partner up (or groups of 3). Partner 1 does 1 rep, partner 2 does 1 rep, partner 1 does 2 reps, partner 2 does 2 reps, partner 1 does 3 reps…until you fail and restart the ladder at 1. DO NOT GO TO ABSOLUTE FAILURE! . Newer athletes should stop at 30 reps–high volume pull ups with assistance poses a safety concern.

Conditioning

5 Rounds
10 Deadlift
50 Double Unders

Notes: RX deadlifts at 185/125 RX+ is 225/155. Scale the weight as needed to maintain a rigid torso. Do not “touch and go” reps if you cannot maintain a neutral spine. You may perform 150 singles instead of double unders.

Cool Down

Foam Roll Lats, Thoracic Spine, Hips
Cat Stretch 1:00
Couch Stretch 1:00
Pigeon Stretch 1:00
