Bode (19 mos.) coaches Maya (13 years old) through a set of deads.

2014 REGIONAL & GAMES ATHLETES

1.  Snatch
work up to a heavy single

2.  "Bergeron Beep Test"
EMOM for as long as possible:
7 Thrusters, 75/55
7 Pull ups
7 Burpees

This is my test for pure conditioning (not skill, not strength). This test makes it easy to compare athletes across a spectrum of sizes, locations, and irregardless of skill or equipment.  In other words, size, strength, or skill doesn't play a huge role (muscle ups and oly lifting would favor the skilled, heavier weights the strong, and rowing and airdyne favors those with mass).  Nor does the running route, height of the wall ball target, or the model of airdyne matter.  Some might argue that it favors lighter athletes, but the thruster weight equalizes this more than you might think.  Now no test is perfect, and if there is any bias it would be to shorter athletes.  
This is also an incredible test of mental toughness, as it is very easy to give up on this workout mentally before your body actually reaches failure.  Basically this is a test of "Whatcha-got?"  So... lets see whatcha-got. 

By the way...Spealler got 17 rounds + 16 reps.

Rest as needed...

Want to PR anything overhead and bulletproof your shoulders?

Crossover Symmetry

Rest Day.

Everyone following this site needs to get this product.  Most of the top athletes in our sport are using it daily.  There are three protocols - which are explained with the product - below is an explanation of how to use the three protocols.

Every day pre WOD, JUST minutes before you lift: Activation protocol

o   Non fatigue, this is arguably the most important protocol, it gets you in an optimal position to function, fires all the tissue in the correct planes of motion, and in the correct sequence (that is the key)  warms up RTC (rotator cuff) which are similar to your feet and hands with not so great blood flow. Fire the serratus anterior, mid to low trap & rhomboids. Neuromuscular firing is the point here.

o   DO NOT SHRUG…..ever during these protocols…..never. We are getting all rotators of the scap to do their jobs since they are shut down and likely weak. 

o   This is where we improve scapulo-humeral head rhythm, extremely important.

o   Do not use this to fatigue.  If you work to fatigue you have increased the chance for superior migration of the humeral head which leads to sub-acromial impingement aka exactly what we are staying away from

o   Other protocols you can go nuts on because they are post wod and we now, don’t have to worry about fatigue, you are already fatigued.

Post Gymnastics heavy WOD: Plyometric protocol

o   This is how we coordinate co-contractions in the shoulder during high speed movements, turn them on and off.  Its hard and will reveal weakness especially if you do it unilaterally.

o   Rhythmic stabilization focused, which is late phase rehab and bridges the gap between clinical therapy and sports performance and increases muscle elasticity.

Post Oly heavy WOD: IRON SCAP (big gains on this protocol, more hard core)

o   This is where you create PRs.

o   Increase energy transfer through the kenetic chain through a bone that moves in 3 dimensions as it acts as a foundation for the shoulder/humeral head.

o   Tall order and when we accomplish this your numbers go up and injuries go down.

o   If you have any scapular dyskinesia http://www.shoulderdoc.co.uk/article.asp?article=930  this is how we solve it.

o   On the last motion in this protocol go as fast as you can.  Try an AMRAP :30 of the ATYT and you will feel what “scapjacked” is all about.
