Warm-up

Run 400 meters (530am class runs 2×200 m.  this keeps you away from the boogy man at the end of the road)
15 inch worms with push up(get a good stretch on the hamstrings)
10 Burpees

Mobility

Lacrosse ball and box hamstring SMASH 1 minute a leg.

SWOD

Find 1RM for Dead Lift
Using the following progression find your one rep max for dead lift.
10-5-3-3-1-1-1-1-1-1…..
The first round of 10 will be empty barbell.  Work PERFECT mechanics here.  The next round of 5 with moderate weight increasing your load every round of 3 then once you get to your ONE reps, start loading conservatively, making sure not to jump too much.  Remember in dead lift you want to take some time to find that 1RM.  Don’t rush this one! POST 1 RM TO BOARD.  If it is a PR, make sure to notate with a red square around the number.

Extra test for the Day. (Time permitting)

Max box jump for height.  For any height over 24″, we will use bumper plates and measuring tape.  So take 10 minutes to get max Box jump height.  I know there are a few of us that just can’t get past the mental block of jumping more than 12″ less trying to find max height, so for you guys we will do max box jumps in 2 minutes.  We will have a spot outside for this in case we have athletes that would like to still get this in but ran out of time before the next class.  (POST HEIGHT OR REPS TO THE BOARD)
