Athletes Notes

Workout Strategy and Flow

  • Pike Push Up or Kipping Handstand Push Up : be aware that these are going to add up to 40 total, which can be a lot of reps in a short amount of time. I would recommend doing quick sets of 5 and taking 2-4 seconds to shake the shoulders out.
  • Shuttle Run – remember that 1 rep is 25ft down and 25ft back. Use these as an opportunity to shake the shoulders out
  • Double Dumbbell Overhead Carry or 50ft Handstand Walk this part is going to be difficult, especially towards the later rounds when your shoulders are shot. Be wise about this from the beginning.

Athletes Notes

Workout Strategy and Flow

  • Dumbbell Push Press : The weight you choose should be something you can lift for 10 unbroken reps under fatigue. While you don’t need to perform 10 unbroken reps during the workout, the weight should only be moderately heavy. As the workout progresses and your shoulders fatigue, the weight will feel heavier, so it’s important to select wisely from the start.
  • Shuttle Run – remember that 1 rep is 25ft down and 25ft back. Use these as an opportunity to shake the shoulders out before going back to the dumbbells
  • Double Dumbbell Overhead Carry – this part is going to be difficult, especially towards the later rounds when your shoulders are shot. Be wise about this from the beginning. Take it in 2 sets of 50ft with just a quick shake out at the half way point. Remember to keep the dumbbells stacked over your shoulders and to not let them get too far in front or behind you.
