1 KM Row
Coaching Notes –
When we last took the box jump on, a lot of you found that confidence was key in making the jump. Don’t let the box and the height get the better of you. We have worked a lot on your power output so you will all be fine to really attack this.
Remember this 1km row?? A lot of you will do! Go out of the gates hard for the first 200-250m and then smooth out your pace for the next 500m and then go as hard as you possibly can for the last 250m. Do not go out at a crazy pace and try and maintain it, it will not happen! We had an incredible atmosphere in the gym last time we did this so make sure you get behind each other and really push yourselves.

2 Mins Max Burpees
Test 2 – Compare to 16th Feb.
“Cindy'
20 min Amrap
5 Pull Ups
10 Press Ups
15 Squats
Coaching Notes –
The key to the burpees is to keep your movement the same through the 2 mins. Go hard at this, as you will have a good amount of time to rest before we take on Cindy.
You all smashed this last time we tested to have your score in mind and make sure you go hard to beat it. Plan it out in your head before hand and see if knowing what you need to hit and how you need to work through the 20 mins will help you.

Today we see our 3 RM Back Squat and Push Press come back. You guys have smashing the squats and will no have so much more power to transfer through to the push press. You should also be a lot more stable and structured above the head. Really work on your vertical dip and drive and the power transfer from the legs to the arms.

Coaching Notes –
Today’s tests are the air squat and KB swing. You will have a 5 min rest between so you can recover. Make sure we hit depth and open the hips at the top. I have been getting after a lot of you on this so make sure you hit the range of motion we are looking for.
Many of you will remember this conditioning from a while back so I thought we would go after it again. Go hard on the burpees to give yourselfmore time on the rest of the workout. Keep a rhythm and stay smooth. Have a second to breath before you get on the bar for the squats. Go as long as you can. Many of you managed them unbroken last time.

Coaching Notes -
A great way to round of a brilliant week. Helen is a favorite in the gym and a great way test how hard you can go.
We have been working hard on your pulling strength so I’m really hoping to see some increased numbers on the pull ups. Take your time between sets as you will fatigue fast if you don’t. We shall be sure to give you enough time to complete these.
