Click here to access the 2017 Regionals Prep Program

Primary Strength Session
A.
Five sets of:
Tempo Front Squat x 3-4 reps @ 4111
(MUST move up in weight from last week by 4-6%)
Rest 3 minutes

B.
Every 2 minutes, for 16 minutes (8 sets):
Clean from Mid-Patella x 1 rep
(pause 2 seconds at mid-patella, then snatch)

Build from approximately 70-75% to today’s heavy. Same rules as last week, but with reduced pause length, the expectation is that you will build to a heavier load.

C.
Three sets of:
8-Second Clean Deadlift x 1 rep @ 8181
Rest as needed

Start with approximately 65% or lighter and keep your focus on maintaining proper positions and weight distribution. Use the 8-second ascent to feel the weight shift from the forefoot into the mid-foot as the barbell passes the knee; keep your chest over the barbell and stay patient in that position as the barbell ascends up the thighs; feel you hips coming up and under the barbell to elevate it – not kick it out. One the way down, maintain that same controlled 8-second tempo and hit all positions again in reverse. Use straps for this!

I’ve been adding more carbs to my afternoon shake and doubled up on my intra workout carbs. That leg comment was more of just a little jest at my legs being sore.

GG Conditioning :
Made it to the 195# bar at 11:45 and hit one snatch. Time capped myself at 20min because I had way too many fails and I was basically recovered again. Wanted to hang with the big dawgs today with the weight but i probably should’ve scaled the last bar a little bit.

A. 135# Lunges and 20# Vest for 6 Dips
B. 70#
