SUNS OUT GUNS OUT | WEEK 24 | 06/06/2021
Street Parking Suns Out Guns Out is posted once a week - on Sunday. These workouts are great for those interested in adding in more work building strength and stamina through more isolation type movements in the upper body.
We typically suggest these workouts be added in as more of a "finisher" after the main workout that day. They can also easily be added to many of the Power, Oly, or Butts and Guts workout - to make a session all it's own!
Add this in wherever makes sense for your schedule - and make sure to check out the daily write up for A, B, and C to see where these workouts fit in best each week!
WARM UP
UPPER BODY BARBELL WARM UP
PULL UP WARM UP
WORKOUT
Bench Press
4 x 8
Rest 60 Seconds Between Sets
COACHES NOTES
These should all be at the same weight. Make sure it's challenging but can be done unbroken.
This can also be done with dumbbells.
Lying face up on the bench, pull the bar from the rack out over your chest so your arms are vertical. Push your feet down into the floor. Draw your low back, shoulders and the back of your head down into the bench. Lower the bar straight down with control until it touches your chest an inch or two above the sternum. Keep your elbows about 45 degrees from your torso, wrists straight. Press the bar all the way back up until your arms are straight to complete the rep.
This can also be done with dumbbells.
Bent Over Row
4 x 12
Rest 60 Seconds Between Sets
COACHES NOTES
This can also be done with dumbbells.
Set up for the bent over row by deadlifting the bar to just below the knee. From here, keeping the torso position set and the chest lifted - you will pull the elbows back and bring the bar to just below the chest. Keep the belly tight. Bring the bar back to just below the knee with the arm straight at the bottom. No kipping or pulling your CHEST down!
Take 10 minutes to get as far as you can:
1 Chin Up
2 Push Ups
2 Chin Ups
4 Push Ups
3 Chin Ups
6 Push Ups
...
Keep adding 1 Chin Up and 2 Push Ups to each subsequent set until you reach 10 minutes or are unable to perform the reps unbroken.
Score: Total Reps of both movements combined added up at the end!
Goal: Rest as much as you need to between sets so you can get all the reps without breaking.
COACHES NOTES
There should be a lot of rest between sets once you get to 4+ reps on the chin ups. Choose a version that you can do 10 pulls (chin ups) and 20 pushes unbroken.
For the chin ups, use a supinated grip, meaning palms facing toward you. Pull your shoulders down and squeeze your belly. Pull yourself up until your chin is over the bar, then lower with control until arms are extended.
Use bands or modify to ring rows with the same grip, palms up or even close grip bicep curls.
For the push up 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.
