Front Squat : 1 Rep Max
Log your best Front Squat 1 rep max lift.
Athletes will have 20 minutes to build up in weight on front squat to a heavy single and find a max strict weighted pull-up. Have athletes partner up and alternate between the two movements completing 1 set of front squats and then transition to 1 set of strict weighted pull-ups. The rest will be between the two movements and the time it takes for both partners to perform. The goal is to reach a heavy single in 6-10 working sets
Weighted Strict Chin-up : 1 Rep Max
Record your best Weighted Strict Chin-up 1 Rep Max lift.
– Supinated Grip (underhand)
– Use belts, dumbbells, or kettlebells to support the weight
-Try to reach a heavy single in 6-10 sets. Remember we are performing these in-between front squat sets
– Focus on hollow torso and straight line pull
– Always start with a dead hang with the ears in line with the biceps. The grip should be just outside shoulders, making sure we wrap pinkies before thumbs.
– During the ascent, we start by activating the scaps sending the head back and lining the chest directly underneath the bar
-We want to keep the legs locked out straight, head neutral, core/hips engaged during the pull and descent. Make sure you control your body back down from the full lockout position.
