~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 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;)
