POWER | WEEK 16 | 04/11/2021

 

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
Take a good 15 minutes to warm up your squats for this one. AND your shoulders/pecs. This may not seem like a lot of reps but it is a potent stimulus so you must get your body prepared.

The tempo for the push ups is 1 second down and 1 second up, as soon as you break that tempo, the set is over. Search 60BPM metronome on your music streaming device or just count "one one thousand - up one thousand, two one thousand - up one thousand!" Choose a variation on the push up that you can get at least 20 in the first set. These are hard, so go knees, elevated hands etc.. if you need to.

You will want to add weight on the squats for each subsequent set except for the last one, the set of 20. You will want to finish about 85% of 1RM at the most before you reduce the load for the set of 20. For that final set, go light enough that you can get 20 reps BUT if your form starts to slip before that, stop there.
