Workout Overview

Stimulus

We've got a good mix of some higher volume and some lower volume sets of movements in today's AMRAP. This means our pacing will probably vary from a nice consistent cadence to more of a sprint. This gives us a unique opportunity to pay closer attention to our breathing and heart rate as we progress through each round today.

Scoring

Rounds + reps completed

Movements

AbMat Sit-ups | 2:00 or less.
Calorie Bike | 2:00 or less
Dumbbell Goblet Reverse Lunges | Around :60
Dumbbell Push Jerks | :60 or less

The One | Teaching Focus

Elbows beat the feet
Our teaching focus today is for the elbows to beat the feet in the push jerks. Athletes should fully jump, and before they land, should already have locked out elbows.

Logistics

If you’re short on bikes and need to manage a large class, you can allow athletes to begin on different stations. It’s best to ensure that athletes do not separate the push jerks with a station between each arm. Have athletes always complete the push jerks back to back.

Workout
(27-47 minutes)

Look For

  • Abmat Sit-ups | Full range of motion.

  • Calorie Bike | Hand Positioning.

Instruct athletes on different hand positions on the handlebars to vary muscle engagement and reduce specific fatigue.

  • DB Goblet Reverse Lunge | Knees & Toes.

The knee should point in the same direction as the toes, avoiding any inward (valgus) or outward (varus) deviation.

  • DB Push Jerk | Elbows beating the feat.

Focus on the teaching focus of an aggressive punch following the jump. Athletes should land having the elbow already fully extended the DB in sound overhead position.

  •  Post Workout Clean Up & Chat (47-60 Minutes)

Mindset

“We’re so busy watching out for what’s just ahead of us that we don’t take time to enjoy where we are.” – Bill Watterson

“Satisfied” feels like a dangerous word.As competitors, we’re always striving for betterment. Through an everlasting hunger to improve, we wake each day looking to press forward. Although a phenomenal quality, this can be a double-edged sword.We can fall into the trap of telling ourselves, “I’ll be happy when”. I’ll be happy when I make this PR, get that job, or buy that home. Yet, the finish line always moves. As soon as we do reach that PR, we’re immediately turning to thinking about the next.The call to action is to appreciate where we are today. To reflect not just on the “to improves”, but to reflect on the positives.

The accomplishments. To be proud of where we’ve come from, and where we’re about to go.
