2/27/14

Warmup - Do 30 Air Squats, then:
      Russian Baby Maker - 2 reps of 30 seconds.
            This is a stretch to improve the bottom position of the squat.  Stand slightly 
            wider than your normal squat stance, grab the tops of your feet, put your
            elbows inside your knees, and squat.  Keep working to sink lower and to 
            push your knees out wider during each 30 seconds.  See the picture at the
            end of the post, of the bottom position of this stretch.

      With an unweighted BB, do 3 rounds of:
      Snatch Grip Push Press - 5 reps
      Overhead Squat - 5 reps


#1  Do 2 rounds of:

      Burpee - 20 reps
      REST - 30 seconds
      BB Bench Press (no pause, no touch) - go to failure with 60% of 1RM
      
      Rest as needed between rounds.  For the no pause, no touch bench press, keep the
      bar about 1-3" off your chest at the bottom of each rep.

#2  BB Overhead Squat      2-2-2-2-2 reps with a 5 second PAUSE at the bottom

            of each rep

      This is an intentionally lighter day (as far as the squats go), but still try to add
      some weight each set, if you can.  Rest between sets.

#3  BB Bench Press WITH BANDS (1.5 REP)      3-3-3-3-3-3 reps

      Start with a weight you can easily manage and then try to add weight each set.
      Rest between sets.

#4  This is one round.  Start a timer.

      0:00 - 2:00 - Run as far as you can on the 50 meter course.
      2:00 - 4:00 - Establish a BB Bench Press 3 Rep Max
      4:00 - 5:00 - Plate Pull - 40 feet.  You should have time to spare on this one.
      5:00 - 6:00 - Do as many quality reps of American Kettlebell Swing as you can.

      We will post how far we ran on the 50 meter course and our weight for the
      BB Bench Press 3 Rep Max.
