Athletes Notes

Scoring

  • Your score today will be the height of your box in inches. If you choose to complete these as pistol squats with no box, then mark the height as 0.

Demo Videos

  • Single Leg Squat (aka Pistol Squat) to Box
    • Aim to have the box at or slightly below parallel. The higher the box, the easier it will be.
  • While this does say “max” we are not focused on going as fast as possible, rather I want you to see how many you can get without stopping moving at a speed you feel comfortable with!!
  • This is a great opportunity to take notes on any imbalances you may find between the two sides of your body.

Athletes Notes

Workout Strategy and Flow

  • This is our last “Murph prep” style workout before the big day! YAY, so I tried to spice it up a bit for you to allow you to have some fun while still getting similar volume in with the main movement patterns (push, pull, run)
  • Bodyweight Renegade Rows with Push Ups : if you have never done a workout with these renegade rows (with a push up ) then you are in for a special treat. haha DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THIS COMPLEX.
  • Shuttle Run : This is going to be a shuttle run heavy workout. So get ready to rock and roll. Per usual down 25ft and back 25ft is 1 rep.
