C. Specific

5 Cal Bike Sprint

Metcon (Weight)
9 rounds
30 sec Ski @mod
2 Banded Back squat @50% + mod bands
Goal: Stimulate the CNS
Just as we have done throughout the week, we need to think about adding as much concentric speed as possible. The bands are there to add accommodating resistance to every portion of the concentric drive. This will force you to create not only speed, but acceleration, meaning you must get faster in every inch.
-Keep your chest tall
-Brace your core the entire ROM
-Control the way down and explode through the resistance on the way up
Metcon
Metcon (No Measure)
EMOM 24minutes
Alternate between
Min 1: 15/10 Cal Row
Min2: 50′ Double DB Front Rack Lunges 2×50/35lbs
Min 3: 50′ Hs walk
Min4: 2 Rope Climbs
Goal: Strength endurance
This should be a lower intensity grind, where you are not rushing anything, but simply accumulating the volume on the page. If you have a weakness like upper body gymnastics pulling or posterior chain strength you may want to consider taking the volume down slightly to accommodate. Remember that we are still in a deload week, this should be a break for you.
That said, try and move as smoothly and methodically as possible, with as little difference from the first round to the last.
Accessory
Metcon (No Measure)
3 sets
10 Belt Squats
15 Hip extension on GHD
Rest 30-60 seconds
Goal: Lower body strength
Although the belt squat may take you some time to get set up if you don’t have the belt squat machine, it is a great tool to use in a deload week in order to allow you to lift weight with your legs without loading the spine.
