POWER | WEEK 09 | 02/21/2021

 

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!

**We did this workout back on 10/13/2019 if you want to go back and see what weight you used etc!

Score: Put Heaviest weight for Front Squats

Please list weights for shoulder press / thruster / and reps for amrap + max sets in comments.

For these Front Squat and Shoulder Press sets, add load between each set. Take smaller jumps with the Shoulder Press. Make sure that you can get at least 5 reps in the max reps set but if you get more than 15, it's probably too light!

For the 3 minute AMRAP, it should be SUPER LIGHT. An empty barbell or even lighter dumbbells is perfect. Focus on good positions and focus on big sets rather than moving really fast. The idea is to spend as much time under tension as possible.

For front squats, make sure the bar is resting on the shoulders with a loose fingertip grip and elbows high! Keep the chest up, but do not overextend the back. Keep the belly tight!

Reach the butt back and down trying to keep the elbows and chest up as you descend. Drive the knees out and keep the heels down throughout. The bottom position should be where the butt is lower than the top of the knee. Do not collapse in this position. Do not go so low that the back starts to round.

To stand, lead with the chest and elbows - keeping the bar on the shoulder and not out in front. Stand fully for each rep.

Shoulder press starts with the bar on your shoulders, full grip with elbows in front. Feet are hip to shoulder width apart. Squeeze your butt, your quads and your belly. Keep your chest up, ribcage down. Press the bar straight up so you have to pull your face out of the way to clear a path. Finish with arms locked out overhead, biceps by the ears.

To lower, move your face out of the way and keep your elbows in front of the bar.
