FRIDAY 19/09
PART A - SPEED STRENGTH
EMOM 12
Min 1: 5 Hang Clean High Pull @RPE7
Min 2: 3 Max Effort Continous Broad Jumps
Min 3: Rest
This block is designed to develop lower-body speed-strength by pairing a loaded explosive pull with unloaded horizontal jumps.
Hang Clean High Pull: Perform each rep with intent, driving powerfully through the hips and pulling high and fast. The focus is on bar speed and triple extension rather than load, reinforcing explosive strength through the posterior chain.
Broad Jumps Continuous: Execute three jumps in succession, maintaining momentum and committing fully to horizontal distance. Land softly with control, keep balance through the trunk, and reset posture before starting the next set.
PART B - STRENGTH
EMOM 12
Min 1: 3 Sumo Deadlifts w/22X0 @RPE7
Min 2: 12 Top-Down Alternating DB Bench Press @RPE7
Min 3: Rest
This block is designed to build max strength and control through strict tempo work in both lower-body pulling and upper-body pressing patterns.
Sumo Deadlift: The sumo deadlift now includes a two-second lowering phase with a strict two-second pause just above the floor before driving back up explosively. This pause eliminates momentum, reinforcing trunk tension, hip positioning, and control off the floor. The wide stance continues to emphasise adductor strength and hip stability compared to a conventional deadlift.
Top-Down Alternating Dumbbell Bench Press: Starting with both dumbbells locked out overhead, athletes alternate pressing one arm at a time while maintaining stability with the other arm extended. The two-second eccentric ensures control through the full range, while the locked-out position demands constant trunk engagement and shoulder stability. This variation builds unilateral pressing strength and challenges anti-rotation under load.
