Warm-up

1. Movement Prep/Activation and Increasing Heart Rate
Hip Halo Warmup
-into-
3 sets:
30 sec row (easy)
20 sec row (mod)
10 sec row (hard)
5 world’s greatest stretch (each side)
5 Tempo Back Squats (empty bar)
5 alt v-ups (each side)

2. Strength Prep
Athletes will build to a heavy single on back squat over the course of 10 minutes. Demo the proper technique of bailing from a back squat by dropping the bar backward and hopping forward simultaneously. A heavy single is not a one-rep max. The difference is that a heavy single is difficult but could be completed again by the athlete on a second set. A one-rep max feels like a 100% effort, and the athlete would not want to do a second attempt on that same day at that weight. Athletes need to focus on keeping their chest tall, feet (all toes) remain in contact with the floor, and a solid/stable core.
