Athletes Notes
- Single leg strength is a focus this cycle! While we won’t necessarily have a test/retest, we will have a lot of tempo and pause focus, and a chance for us to work on imbalances, balance, and coordination.
Demo Video
- Bodyweight Walk Through Lunge – while the video shows alternating, today you should do ALL 10 reps on 1 side before switching.

Athletes Notes
Scoring
- Please note that we are only scoring the 60 second reps for our total rep count!
- Sets 1 and 2 are for heel tap reps counted as (L+R=1)
- Sets 3 and 4 are for Alternating Leg V-Ups – because these are alternating, every leg counts as a rep.
Workout Strategy and Flow
- Going to be a fun arm + core pump. Giving our legs a break after that killer strength piece!!!
- Bodyweight Renegade Row This has no push up. Just remain in that high plank position drawing your elbow back to your hip. Keep your core tight and squeeze the lat.
- Towel Bicep Curls or Banded Bicep Curls : Chance to challenge yourself, but ideally these 16 are without a break or only 1 quick shake out.
- Our 60 second window each set is for a core movement – either the Heel Taps and Alternating Leg V-Up . You get 90 seconds of rest after, so really fight hard to keep moving. If you need to take 1-2 quick breaks you may but anything else would mean that style of the movement is too difficult and you should scale.

Workout Strategy and Flow
- Going to be a fun arm + core pump. Giving our legs a break after that killer strength piece!!!
- Dumbbell Gorilla Row : let’s be smart about the weight we select. It should allow for you to do the 16 reps without stopping, but I want you to challenge yourself here. We only have 2 sets (so 32 reps total). FEEL THE BURN.
- Crush Grip Dumbbell Bicep Curl : Another chance to challenge yourself, but ideally these 16 are without a break or only 1 quick shake out.
