Coaching Notes, Strategy, and Goals

% Strict Press

Goal: Consistent, Strong Reps with good speed on the barbell.

Stimulus: Absolute Strength

RPE: 8/10 Strength Test, but overall effect on the body is low due to weight that can be lifted

Key focus areas:

Root through the floor and think about pulling the barbell into the body then pressing on the rep in order to still gain an advantage in the stretch reflex.

Modifications:

We can move to a landmine press or dual dumbbell strict press as a modification for the strict press today.

Possibly add some reps and just keep loads moderate to work on form.

Secondary Objective: Complete the workout in under 12min

Stimulus: Chipper Conditioning and Aerobic Capacity

RPE: 9/10

Workout Strategy and Movement Breakdown:

This is a pyramid-style workout with two big efforts on the rower bookending burpee and pull-up volume. Your pacing must be smart early — aggressive but controlled — to avoid redlining before the second round of burpees. Expect this to feel like a gut-check around the second set of burpees and into the final row.

The dream is free. The hustle is sold separately.
