SUNS OUT GUNS OUT | WEEK 26 | 06/20/2021
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 its own!
WARM UP
UPPER BODY DUMBBELL WARM UP
WORKOUT
Part 1:
Every 3 Min for 15 Min

Score: Weight used for Floor Press
Goal: Difficult but unbroken sets of 12
**Put in comments if you had to modify or lower the number of push ups per round.
COACHES NOTES
The floor presses and ideally the push ups should be unbroken. Modify the push ups as needed because the tempo changes things a lot!
MOVEMENT DESCRIPTIONS
For the floor press - it is basically a bench press from the floor. Don't slam your elbows down. You will pause for like 1/4 second at the bottom each time!! But, for the wide grip, take your elbows out a little wider, 60-90°. Keep your palms facing in the direction of your feet for the entire press.
For the tempo push ups you will lower for 2 full seconds, hold at a hover just above the floor for one second then press up explosively. Take a one second pause at the top, then repeat.
Part 2:
4 Rounds of:
20 second Overhead Plate Hold
Rest 10 seconds
20 second 90° Plate Hold
Rest 10 seconds
Men use 45-55# Plate
Women use 25-35# Plate
No score!
Grab a plate and hold it overhead for the first 20 seconds. Squeeze your butt and your abs. Arms should be straight with biceps by ears.
For the second 20 seconds, hold the plate with your arms at a 90° angle. Keep your upper arms and elbows pinned to your sides and forearms parallel to the floor. Try to relax your shoulders down away from your ears.
