POWER | WEEK 27 | 06/27/2021

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!


WARM UP
GENERAL BARBELL WARM UP

WORKOUT

Following a 30 minute clock:

0:00 - 5 Back Squats
3:00 - 5 Back Squats
6:00 - 5 Back Squats
10:00 - Max reps Back Squat (SINGLE SET)

27:00 - 3 Min AMRAP of
(As Many Reps as Possible in 3 Min)
1 Push Up
1 Squat Jump

(PUSH UP AND SQUAT JUMP ARE UNWEIGHTED)

SINGLE SET means one attempt - no re-racking between reps!

SCORE #1: Put in heaviest back squat weight and how many reps you did for your max set.

SCORE #2: Put in weight for heaviest bench press and put how many reps you did for your max set

Goal: Good and safe movement. At least 5 reps for max sets but no more than 15!

COACHES NOTES
For these Squats and Bench Press sets, add load between each set. Take smaller jumps with the Bench 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! It helps if you decide the weight you want to try for the max set with and then work backward from there to figure out weights for the first three sets (take off 5-20 lbs for each set). So for example if you know you want to try for 225# in the max set - the third set might be 215#, second set 205#, first set 185#.

MOVEMENT DESCRIPTIONS
For the back squat: The bar will be on the back. The feet should be shoulder width apart. Heels down. Raise the chest and tighten the belly. Reach the butt back and down and drive the knees out. Get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom. No collapsing or rounding the back at the bottom! Drive through the heels, lead with the chest, keep the belly tight, and push the knees out as you come up! Stand all of the way up at the top.

Since these are heavy reps take a moment to re-set the core/midline and lift the chest before going down for each rep.

For the bench press: We HIGHLY suggest for heavy weight and max sets that you have a spotter. If you do not - please do not put clips on your bar (so you can dump off of the side), go lighter than you would if you had a spot, and if you want even use dumbbells.

Unrack the bar with the hands just outside of shoulder width. Make sure the shoulder blades are pulled back and down and that your heels are either on the floor or on a stack of plates if you don't have long legs. Bring the bar to a locked out position over the chest. Lower under control with the elbows going back and not flaring out but going down more toward the ribs. Touch the chest under control. Dig the heels in but keep the butt on the bench as you press to a fully locked position at the top. Wrap your thumb around the bar to prevent it from slipping! Be careful and smart if benching alone!

For the 3 minute AMRAP, just work constantly for 3 minutes. Take a moment to set yourself up in a proper starting position before each rep. If you are unable to jump you may do a fast air squat but keep the feet on the floor!
