POWER | WEEK 02 | 01/03/2021
STREET PARKING POWER - Ongoing program designed to build strength through emphasis on major lifts like Back Squat, Front Squat, Deadlift, Shoulder Press and Bench Press.
This may also include assistance exercises to support good mechanics and healthy tissue.
Typically we suggest adding this in before the regular daily workout if performing them on the same day. Days in which this workout will fit in best can be found on the daily program write ups!
WARM UP
Lower Body Barbell Warm Up
WORKOUT
Pause Back Squat (4 x 5 - 4 Sets (one set every 5 min for 20 min))
3 Second Pause in the bottom
For these squats you will hold the bottom position for 3 seconds on each rep. Go lighter than you would for a normal 4 sets of 5 reps - those pauses make it much tougher! Stay at the same weight for all 4 sets.
To get set up, make sure your feet are roughly shoulder width apart. Shift and make sure those heels are down. The bar should be on the back with the chest lifted and belly tight!
To start the movement you will reach the butt back and down, while working to keep the chest up. Keep the heels down and drive the knees out as you go down.
You will keep going down until your butt is lower than your knees at the bottom. In this position there should be no plopping or rounding. You should have a flat back and chest up. Pause here for 3 seconds.
Stand up by driving the heels into the ground, lifting the chest and driving the knees out.
For Time
400 Meter Farmer Carry
Every time you put the weight down, 5 Strict Press with your dumbbells or kettlebells.
RX Men: 40# DBs/KBs +
RX Women: 25# DBs/KBs +
RX+: 800 Meters
Ouch. So basically you will carry a set of dumbbells or kettlebells at your sides for 400 meters. If you need a break - no problem. You will just complete 5 strict press before you can start carrying again.
If you don't have matching dbs or kbs you can have varying weights, just switch hands when you break and do 5 strict press per side with the correct weight!
