Youth.
"The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently." - Friedrich Nietzsche

Bench press:

1 max rep set @ 50% of 1RM

1 max rep set @ 75%

Rest as needed between sets. Max rep sets end as soon as range of motion shortens, failure occurs, or bar returns to rack.

Then:

Deadlift:

5 x 5 @ 70-80% of 1RM

Rest as needed; Today, each lift features a 2/1000 pause in the locked-out top position before returning the bar safely to the floor. If the 2/1000 becomes unsustainable, make as minor an adjustment as necessary to continue safely. When scheme is listed as “5 x 5″, it always refers to “Sets” x “Reps”.

And then, skill work:

Jumprope
High-knee jumprope
Double-under

Choose the most wp-contentropriate variation based on ability and work until progress is made. End goal is improvement of form and fluidity in whichever we choose, and subsequently, achievement of strong, uninterrupted double-unders.
