Strategy and Briefing: 

Clean

Keep the Bar Close

Excellence requires efficiency. One of the biggest weightlifting mistakes is letting the bar come out too far in front. Happens all the time, but it’s inefficient. The lats play a major role in this: engaging them helps keep the bar close, and controls the arm pull. Win-win. If you’re jumping forward, or missing forward, the bar is likely too far in front. Visualize the bar CLOSE to the body, then reproduce it in reality. If you do it right, you’ll immediately notice a significant difference, in both weight lifting and consistency.

Conditioning

Consistency of movement and scores is the main focus in today’s Breathe & Burn workout.  Pacing can be a challenge with interval work sometimes. We often think we can sprint, because there’s a rest at the end of each round. Resist this urge — going too fast with this combination of movements can dig a hole that a 1:00 rest will not fill.  Work on consistent, smooth movement with a goal to complete 1 round. It will be tough to hold and maintain.  Keep sets unbroken throughout, and be mindful of breathing both during and in-between sets. Take deep controlled breaths during rests, to help recover.
