Post Bench Press Loads and Workout Time to Comments
Complete the Strength & Conditioning Warmup for 3 rounds BEFORE class begins.  During the skill segment, perform 5 sets of Deadhang pullups. Determine the number of reps for each round by taking 80% of your 1 set max.  Rest 2-3 minutes between sets.

For the strength segment, you will establish a 1RM Bench Press for the day.  Follow the reps and % progression up to 90% and then take 2-3 attempts at a 1RM.  Failing is ok, but know your capacity and don’t be stupid.  Also, you should be working with at least one other person at your station.  This will help insure that you don’t work too quickly and also get us working together.  Make sure you ring the Cowbell and write your PRs on the board too!

For the conditioning workout, you have no more than 5 minutes.  The KB Swings are American, but if the RX load is more than you’re used to and you’d like to do Russian Swings, go ahead.  You may also choose to scale up the Slam Ball load.  

ENDURANCE WORKOUT tonight at 6pm!
