Hey Friends!
16.2 is in the books – It was really difficult! Always tough to deal with poor performances when you think you can do better, but bittersweet to know the reason you didn’t is you didn’t prepare properly. Oh squats… when we will become besties?
That’s one of the upsides of the Open though, the forced revealing of weaknesses. If you’ve had some weaknesses revealed that you’d like some special homework for, let your coach know and maybe you can book a time together to develop a plan for supplemental work to do to help shore things up! :)

Push Press
With a barbell in the front rack position, dip down, by flexing the knees and ankles, then violently extend both while propelling the barbell from your shoulders to an overhead position. The dip should be short and quick, keeping the weight in the heels and the torso as upright as possible.
7 X 1 @ 85%
Session 7/14. We’re adding weight. Percentages are suggestions not rules. Add weight to the split squats, or add complexity/depth (elevate front foot on a plate, or rest back foot on top of bench).
In a standard lunge position with dumbbells in your hands or a barbell either in the front or back rack position, sink down into a lunge and press back up through the front heel. These are not walking lunges. To add difficulty, elevate your front foot onto a weight plate (45# is more than enough).
