10 PVC Pipe Jumping Squats

Ten reps of:

Rest as needed

A.
Eight sets of:
Banded Wide Foot Box Squat to AT Parallel x 2 reps
Rest 45-60 seconds between sets

**Special Notes**
-Load the bar to 50% of your 1RM and then add band tension that takes the lockout to an extra 25%.
-The focus is on standing up out of the bottom as fast as you possibly can. The purpose is not to lift heavy but to lift each rep with maximal speed.” “Every minute, on the minute, for 10 minutes:
3 Banded Speed Deadlifts @ 50%

**Special Note**
-Add 25% band tension at lockout.
-The focus is maximal speed on each lift. By maximal speed we mean we want you visualizing as though you were jumping with the barbell you exploded up so hard. If the bar is slowing down at all, stop or reduce the loading.

B.
Every 90 seconds, for 12 minutes (8 sets of):
Sets 1-3: 2 Hang Power Cleans + Power Jerk @ 65%

C.
Five to Six sets of:
20 Wall Balls Shots (30/20lbs to 10′)
20 Second Max Effort Echo Bike Sprint

*Note number of calories achieved.
**If you hit significant dropoff by set 5, then the workout is terminated.

D.
Three sets of:
25 GHD Back Extensions
25-30 Banded Hamstring Curls
Rest as needed

Athlete Notes:
Blast the legs then sprint fast. We want to see you go unbroken on those wall ball shots and then hammer on that bike as hard as you can for the full 20 seconds. We expect a little bit of dropoff as the lactic acid builds up, but if you’ve hit significant dropoff (base this on your max rpm’s and ability to hold there) by the 5th set, then you’re free from completing the 6th set. We told you this cycle was going to make you a more powerful athlete. What better way to do that than by bike sprints?
