A. Squat; 3 sets of 5 reps- add 5# to last time! If no rack available take wt from the floor and get to your shoulders- 3 sets of 10-15 reps at most you can get up safely. Can sub for deadlift 1 set of 5 reps if needed (add 5-10# to last time!)
B. Strength circuit:
set up a station for each of these types of movements, work for 60s at each one.... 60s rest between each one X 2-3 rounds. Intensity/effort level in the 7-8/10 range.
- Object Carry- moderately heavy and far- example- farmer carry, fireman carry, bear hug walk, zercher walk...
- Stationary upper body pull- example hand over hand sled pulls
- forward drag- example sled drag over shoulder, sled chest press,
- core conditioning- example- sledge hammer, alternating KB swings, partner med-ball toss (not situps)
- light and fast- example- stairs, jog, row...
**I have started making my rounds looking at technique for the lifts and talking about how to keep your workouts safe in the wt room. If I haven't go to you yet you will see me very soon. With this in mind, if you have questions about how to do any lifts (squat/deadlift etc) or are uncomfortable with your technique then forgoe squats with wt or many reps- think of it as skill work and we will hammer through the finer points when I get to you!
These workouts are put here as an option for AFD members to help improve their fitness related to FF activities. Each workout will contain a strength component (squats, deadlifts, presses, pulls etc) and finish with a conditioning component (lower skill movements done in intervals, rounds etc). The intention is to focus on building overall strength at the beginning of the workout when you are fresh and then use our strength for conditioning (as we are strength and power based athletes).
