| ~6-6:30pm: Muscle Ups & HS Skill | ||
| MU Skill Work: | ||
| *note: perform warm-up sets FIRST! | ||
| Personal Quota work-follow sheet: http://www.labgym.com/muscle-up-quota-rep-progressions/ | ||
| HS Walk Skill Work: | ||
| HS Walk Practice- | ||
| Beginner/Intermiedate: | ||
| ‘Walk too wall’: (warm-up: ~1-2 sets of hand raises/hs) | ||
| Start at 2 feet away: take 3 consecutive attempts to walk to wall. When complete 3 successful in a row MAY back up 1-2 more feet (continue same approach: at new distance, once complete 3 successful MAY back up 1-2 feet further) | ||
| Advanced: | ||
| 10 Min-AMRAP: (warm-up: ~1-2 sets of hand raises/hs) | ||
| HS Walk for Max distance, rest 60s | ||
| ~6:30-7:30pm: Upper/Quota (***or quota after WOD/s) | ||
| Upper Strict Strength Suggestions & Considerations: | ||
| Out of Season: Sets 4 & 5-Perform high rep strict back off sets for muscular endurance (Unless strict strength is more important for current goals: then do the lower rep scheme). | ||
| In Season: Sets 4 & 5: Drop the high rep strict back off sets to prevent skill & wod fatigue (However, may perform the lower rep schemes) | ||
| During Season/Competition Weeks: Drop sets 4 & 5 and if needed just work up to 1 top set for the day of the current rep scheme. May also drop 1 upper body day and perform just 1 upper body maintenance day on Tuesday or Friday) (During CF Regionals & CF Games drop the Friday workout for the last 2 weeks). | ||
| Upper Strength (srict): ~30-45 Minutes (if stick to proper rest periods) | ||
| (~30 Minutes: If short on time, need to taper/peak, or just maintain strength-drop optional 4th & 5th sets) | ||
| (~45 Minutes +: If do all optional/bonus sets and any other auxiliary upper work) | ||
| (Note: See 1 Day per week ‘Upper Strength & Quota’ maintenance option on Friday’s) | ||
| ***Add the scale as needed note by the drop sets) | ||
| *May superset push and pull exercises below (better for conditioning) (ex: Bench Press w/BB Row) or run through one at a time (better for strength) (In the later case may do all push exercise first, then all pull). | ||
| (Note: if you often sandbag an exercise wihtin a superset: don’t superset them;) | ||
