Strength Cycle: Phase 1 – Week 4 of 7
Strength/Skill
E2M14M
4 Tempo Front Squats
*5sec Eccentric (Lowering), 1sec Pause, Explosive Concentric (Lifting)
*This is a lot of time under tension, and 7 sets is no joke. Build as you go and get at least 3 really challenging sets in. Partner up and help each other count the correct tempo.
WOD
12, 10, 8, 6, 4
Burpee Box Step Overs (Spl/S: Jump Overs)
2-DB Box Step Overs – L: 25/15; Spl: 35/25; S: 50/35
2-DB Push Press; Spl: 1/2 Rep HSPU; S: HSPU
*The volume on this is relatively low, so it’s an opportunity to work on the skill of HSPU & Box Overs, should you so choose. There’s potentially a lot of time under tension on those arms, so improving your skill there will help lighten the overall load.
