3 minute sled drag (20yd. each @ BW)
“Drag” = forward, “Pull” = backward.
Accumulate as much distance as possible in three minutes, strategizing wisely and taking as little rest as absolutely needed. Trainer will issue call-outs at the 1, 2, and 2:30 mark.
Then:
Box jump @ 10lb. W, 15lb. M (use bumper plate):
5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5
Height increases in each set (denoted by commas). Start challenging, and end even moreso.
Jump: Be sure to practice jumping with an implement prior to beginning the drill. Ordinarily, we re-set a jump by swinging our arms- not being able to do so (due to holding a bumper plate) can require some adjustment.
And then, with a partner, 5 rounds of:
10 Abmat medicine ball pass @ 10/12lb. W, 12/16lb. M
10 Medicine ball throw @ same
5 Inchworm
100 Jumprope
Transition seamlessly and aggressively. Medicine ball variations are performed together, inchworm and jumprope are performed separately; Hustle through, earn your extra rest. Next round starts when last partner hits 100 jumprope.
Medicine ball throw, partner or wall: “At”, not “to”, and/ or “through”, not “at”.
Transitional details: Attempt to not touch the ground with your hands from the beginning of the round until starting the inchworm.
And finally, “Time under tension”:
25 Abmat sit-up @ 1/2 BW + 25 “Prison” Abmat sit-up + 25 calories Airdyne @ cool-down pace
Keep weight anchored at the solar plexus or above in each and every rep of Abmat sit-up. Shoulders touch at the bottom of each rep, butt stays on the ground, posture is upright at the top. Pace is not a substitute for position, even in simple movements.
“Prison”: Variation features both hands on back of the head, and elbows pointed to the sides throughout. If that position loses integrity, rest briefly, and either find it or adjust it.
