COACHING
RANGE OF MOTION
As we’re moving quickly through these short rounds, let’s make it a point to nail the range of motion standards:
Strict Pull-ups: Chin over the bar at the top, elbows completely locked at the bottom
Sit-ups: Back flat on ground in the bottom, shoulders forward of the hips at the top
Push-ups: Chest to floor and elbows locked out at the top
Air Squat: Hips below parallel at the bottom and body in a straight line at the top
TIPS
Be conservative and consistent on the upper body movements – as things start to get real in rounds 3 or 4
Pick a rep number for the first two rounds that you feel confident repeating for rounds 3-8
Be more aggressive on the air squat and sit-ups
Don’t necessarily pick a number – just move quickly for the whole 20 seconds as these stations are easier to get reps on than the upper body movements
