Post Max Box Jump Height, Overhead Squat Loads, and Workout Time to Comments
Complete the Strength & Conditioning Warmup for 3 rounds BEFORE class begins. For the skill segment, you will establish a 1RM max height box jump in 10 minutes.  You can use bumper plates to add height to the boxes once you’re over 30″.  Be smart about your choices and don’t break your shins…or anything else.  You are allowed one step into each jump (like in the video below). 

For the strength segment, follow the warmup progression and then complete 3 sets of 3 reps at 80% 1RM.  Rest 2-3 minutes between work sets.  You should not be working anywhere near failure here. The entire strength segment shouldn’t take longer than 20 minutes.  Work relatively quickly through the three warmup sets so you can maximize rest time during the 3 work sets.  If you are unsure if you are doing this movement correctly, don’t be foolish – get someone to watch and help you! 

The conditioning workout is a Strength & Conditioning Benchmark Hero WOD.  You will be able to run the 800s all out.  Take care on the 400s if it’s your first time running backwards, which it likely is.  You will become well acquainted with your hamstrings on the backwards run, especially up the hill.  Consider wearing a helmet if you’re accident prone…you know who you are 🙂

MOBILITY session tonight! at 6pm!
