OLY | WEEK 36 | 08/29/2021

 

Street Parking OLY is posted once a week - on Sunday. These workouts are for those interested in adding in some additional work going heavy and working technique in the Olympic lifts. Add this in wherever makes sense for your schedule.

We typically suggest doing this workout BEFORE the regular programmed workout that day if doing both in one session. You can find suggestions on which days each week it will fit in best on the descriptions in Program A, B, and C on Wodify and the Members Only Website!


WARM UP
UPPER BODY BARBELL WARM UP

WORKOUT

3 Sets

5 Shoulder Press (Building)

COACHES NOTES
Do a good warm up first and then make each of these sets heavier. Rest a bit between.

SHOULDER PRESS
The bar starts on the front of the shoulders with a full grip and elbows slightly in front. Feet roughly between hip and shoulder width. Heels down. Butt squeezed. Chest up and belly tight. Using no momentum from the lower body you will move the face out of the way, press the bar straight up, move the head back to neutral and finish completely locked out with the biceps by the ears. Upper back is pressing up into the bar and the bar is over the middle of the body.

Lower by bringing the elbows in front and moving the face back out of the way. Absorb with the knees if you need to but you cannot use any of that knee bend to feed the next rep.


Push Press

3-3-2-2-1-1-1 (Building)

COACHES NOTES
Each of these sets should also get heavier - rest no more than 2 min between sets. It helps to have a goal weight that you want to hit for the final set of 1 rep and then work backwards from there in 5-10# jumps so you know what weight to start with.

PUSH PRESS
Set up with the bar on your shoulders and elbows high. Feet hip to shoulder width apart. Chest up, belly tight. Keep your heels down, let your knees track forward as you dip your hip. Chest stays lifted. Stand up fast. As the bar pops up off the shoulders, press straight up to lock out.

Finish standing tall, arms straight, biceps by the ears. Squeeze your butt and keep your belly tight.

Make sure that when you lower the weight you bring the elbows in front and absorb with the knees to either send into the next rep or re-set.
