Warm Up

2 Rounds:
10 Scapular Pull-Ups
0:30 Bench Tricep Stretch
10 Kip Swings
5 Push-UpsScapular Pull-Ups

1. Begin in a dead hang on the bar, with your hands shoulder width apart. You should be sinking down, with your shoulders in contact with your ears.
2. Engage the lats by "pulling down on the bar", creating as much space as possible between your shoulders and ears.
3. Hold for two seconds.
4. Lower back down into your dead hang position.

Bench Tricep Stretch

1. Begin sitting glutes-to-heels on the ground, facing your bench (or, any apparatus you are using: Chair, couch, desk, etc.)
2. Place your hands on the bench, palms down, and slide them forward until your elbows are supported. The goal is to keep the joint as comfortable and safe as possible.
3. Arms should be shoulder width apart.
4. With your knees together, lift your glutes and set your hips directly over your knees. Both legs should be together and creating aa 90 degree angle.
5. Allow your head to fall through your arms, and press your chest towards the floor.
6. Bend your elbows and pull your thumbs to shoulder blades. This will intensify the stretch in the triceps.
7. Engage your core by pulling the belly button into your spine. This will flatten out and protect the lower back. No sagging.

Kip Swings

1. Begin standing under the bar.
2. Jump to the bar, landing in a hollow position.
3. Drive your heels back and push your chest forward into an arch position.
4. Continuously move back and forth between the hollow and arch, keeping the glutes and legs tight.
5. Note: Smaller and tighter positions are better than larger, out of control positions! Make sure you are fully engaged.
