POWER | WEEK 08 | 02/14/2021
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!

COACHES NOTES
Stay at the same weight for all 5 sets of 4 deadlifts. Be sure to warm up to a challenging load before the clock starts!
DEADLIFT
The bar will start on the ground. The feet are under the hips. Heels are down. Hips and knees are bent. Arms are straight. Chest is up. Belly tight. Back flat! Hands just outside the legs To lift drive the heels into the ground and lift the chest. Keep the arms straight as you pull the bar in close to the body. Keep the arms long and straight. Keep the chest up and belly tight. Stand all of the way up at the top. Squeeze the butt. Don't lean back.
To lower - reach the butt back and slide bar down the legs. Keep the knees out of the way. Keep the chest lifted and belly tight. Keep those heels down. Once past the knees you will re-bend the knees and bring the bar back to the starting position under control.
PULL UP
They should be strict. So, choose some level of assistance that allows for an unbroken set of 10 each time. You can do a weighted pull up for more of a challenge or switch to a TRX/Ring or inverted barbell row if you need to.
Part 2:
Every 3 Minutes for 12 Minutes (4 Total Sets):
8 Romanian Deadlifts (Same Load)
20 Push Ups
Score: Weight Used for Deadlifts
COACHES NOTES
Stay at the same weight for all 4 sets of 8 RDLs. These should be considerably lighter than the 4 regular deadlifts performed in part 1.
ROMANIAN DEADLIFT
The Romanian Deadlift starts and ends at the hang position, not the floor. This should be much lighter than a traditional deadlift.
Perform a traditional deadlift to get to the hang position with hands about shoulder width apart and feet under hips.
Keep your belly tight, chest up and back in a neutral position as you unlock your knees and push you butt back. Slide the bar down your legs. It should travel in a straight line.
Once the bar goes below the knees, push your feet down into the floor and stand back up. You won't bring the bar all the way to the floor.
PUSH UP
For the push up, choose a variation you think you can go for all 20 unbroken each time, or at least get close!
We want to see a rigid body position with shoulders above or beyond the wrists and hands just wider than shoulder width. Squeeze your butt, your thighs and your belly. No sagging hips or snaking.
Keep your elbows within 45 degrees to the body as you lower your chest and thighs to make contact with the floor. Stay engaged. Press back up to the the top until arms are totally straight.
To maintain these good positions throughout, you may need to go from the knees or elevate your hands.
