POWER | WEEK 35 | 08/22/2021

 

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
UPPER BODY BARBELL WARM UP

WORKOUT

6 Sets of 4 Reps (Building)

Bench Press

Rest 2 Minutes Between Sets

COACHES NOTES
Each set should be heavier than the last. Start with something heavy but that you are confident in.

As always don't go too heavy if you don't have a spot or a SAFE way to bail.

BENCH PRESS
Try to get set up so that your feet and heels are down. If you have a tall bench or if you are short - you can put plates where your feet will be! Keep the butt on the bench. Before you unrack the bar think of pulling the shoulders back and down and pinching a pack of playing cards in your armpits.

Hands should be just outside the shoulders with a full grip around the bar. As you lower the bar, keep the elbows IN.

Touch the chest (not BOUNCE on the chest) and press to lock out at the top.


6 Sets of 8-12 Reps (Per Side)

Single Arm Dumbbell Press

Rest 30 Seconds Between Sides / 1-2 Minutes Between Sets

COACHES NOTES
Choose a weight that you can do 8 for sure but 12 is pushing it.

You can do these seated or standing. Either way keep the belly tight and rib cage pulled in.

Start with the dumbbell at the shoulder, press to lockout getting the bicep by the ear.

Do 8-12 on one side and the same weight and reps on the other.

Rest about 30 seconds between arms and 1-2 min between rounds.
