POWER | WEEK 36 | 08/29/2021

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
SQUAT WARM UP
PULL UP WARM UP

WORKOUT

5 Sets

5 Front Squats

Perform 1 Set Every 2 Min for 10 Minutes

COACHES NOTES
Rest 2 Min Before Chin Up Portion.

So it's 5 reps every 2 minutes for 10 minutes, totaling 5 sets.

Front Squats should be heavy, take 10-15 minutes to build up to 80-85% of your 1RM, then keep the load the same for all 5 working sets.

FRONT SQUAT
Make sure the bar is resting on the shoulders with a loose fingertip grip and elbows high! Keep the chest up, but do not overextend the back. Keep the belly tight!

Reach the butt back and down trying to keep the elbows and chest up as you descend. Drive the knees out and keep the heels down throughout. The bottom position should be where the butt is lower than the top of the knee. Do not collapse in this position. Do not go so low that the back starts to round.

To stand, lead with the chest and elbows - keeping the bar on the shoulder and not out in front. Stand fully for each rep.


Every 30 Seconds for as long as you can last (up to 10 Min)

3-5 Unbroken Chin Ups

Score is total reps when you can no longer keep up your unbroken sets.

COACHES NOTES
Choose a variation on the chin up that will allow you to knock 3-5 reps fairly easily. Once you do a few sets, they are going to get very difficult and you'll want to be able to last at least 5 minutes (that's 10 sets!)

Use a band or slight leg assistance if needed! You could also use a feet on the ground/low bar option.

CHIN UP
You will use a supinated grip, meaning palms facing toward you. So use that same grip even if doing banded, bent rows, ring rows, etc.

Keep the movement strict and maintain engagement through your abs the whole time!
