double under practice
-------------------------
teams of two for time:


6 rds for time:
200m sprint
30 db shoulder to overhead 35/25#
30 overhead walking lunge @ 25/15#


**players will leap frog exercises so that everyone will ultimately do three sets of the workout but will have plenty of rest in between each so that each exercise should be sprint/max effort
***if odd number of players then it becomes 9 rds for that team or if you want to do it by yourself just do three rounds as a regular wod

Thanks a lot I-81

trying for a make up wod saturday afternoon/evening around 5:30-6pm!

high pulls, hip extension and hip flexion

sumo deadlift hip pull
5-5-5-3-3-1-1-1-1-1


working the sdhp will eventually translate to the olympic lifts by practicing the triple extension. the triple extension refers to the extension of the hip, knees and ankles that we use in the snatch and clean & jerk. 

here we see her with hips, knees and ankles fully extended or fully opened. practicing this maximizes our efficiency with the more complex movements as well as developing power and explosiveness.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
for time:


50 floor bench press** @ 45#
....with time still running load the bar with 225/135 then complete...
21-15-9
deadlift @ 225/135# + 30 sit ups after each round
.... time still running unload the bar and complete....
50 floor bench press @ 45#


**floor bench can be done on two stacks of towels or some kind of riser to allow for complete range of motion meaning that the bar touches the chest for every rep

Being Negative

overhead "negatives"

a negative is when we concentrate on slowing down the eccentric movement (vs concentric/dynamic) or when we "relax". i say "relax" because we dont actually relax or shut off muscles to lower a bar but in fact we flex a ton we just dont know it. working on the eccentric movement helps develop type II muscle fibers that we use in becoming explosive and powerful. so heres what to do....

10 rds:
strict press/push press/push jerk the bar to a stable overhead poistion then lower the weight VERY SLOWLY!!! the travel time from overhead to the top of the shoulders should last about 15-20sec. really focus on a smooth transition down. at first you will feel a stop and go as you lower the weight and what you want to work on is "ironing out" that jerking motion so that the weight glides down. as the weight increases the harder it will be to achieve this so focus on it in the first few sets.

first 3 sets of 5: start with just the bar, "ironing out" the transition downward
next 3 sets will be 3 reps each: start to increase weight for each set
last 4 sets are 1 rep:  maximum effort on weight

and now that your arms are good and smoked...
