May 4, 2020 – Masters Program

At-Home Workout (No Equipment)

For our at-home and travel workouts, please start a clock and allow it to run throughout your training session. The entire session will take 60-minutes or less, and staying accountable to the clock will allow you to maintain the appropriate intensity and stimulus.

When the clock starts, perform…

Two sets of:
60 second Run/Bike/Row/Jumping Jacks
30 seconds of Downward Dog Stretch
30 seconds of Divebomber Push-Ups
30 seconds of Handstand Hold OR Front Leaning Rest
30 seconds of Reverse Snow Angels
30 seconds of Russian Baby Makers
30 seconds of Kang Squats
30 seconds rest

Breathe exclusively through your nose throughout this entire portion. If you find that your mouth drops open, you’re going too hard. Slow your pace and resume breathing only through your nose. Perform this at 75-80% effort.

When the running clock reaches 15:00, perform the following…

Against a 2-minute running clock, complete as many reps as possible of:
20 Air Squats
15 Backpack Push Presses
Max Reps of Backpack Devil’s Presses in the remaining time

Rest 60 seconds between sets, and complete a total of five (5) sets.

When the running clock reaches 35:00, perform the following…

Three sets of:
15 seconds of Top of Push-Up Hold
15 seconds of Bottom of Push-Up Hold
Max Reps of Unbroken Push-Ups
Bulgarian Split Squats x 8-10 each leg @ 3111
Rest as needed

Followed by…

5-10 minutes of breath work lying down in a comfortable position.

Inhale for 3-5 seconds through your nose…
Brief hold in…
Exhale for 6-10 seconds through your mouth (like you are blowing a whistle)…
Brief hold out.

Keep the ratio of inhale to exhale at a 1:2.

Coaches Note:
Today’s intention is strength bias towards our upper body. There is a little bit of lower body mixed in to relieve your arms from time to time, but the primary focus is strengthening the upper body with both pressing and pulling patterns.

During the five intervals, go hard on the backpack devil’s press!!
