TEACHING

Today is a great day to review mechanics on the row when pushing the pace. The Warm-Up set athletes up with the basic
sequence of movements in the row, so now we can build on that.
(8:00 Cap)
10 Strokes: focusing on keeping the strokes/minute between 20-22
-breathe in on the way in, breathe out on the way out

10 Strokes: focusing on keeping the strokes/minute between 22-24
-maintain intentional breathing
10 Strokes: focusing on keeping the strokes/minute between 24-26
-as the speed increases, breathing intentionally may become harder- remind athletes to use their breath and time it with
the kickback- keeping the shoulders back and chest up as they exhale
10 Strokes: focusing on keeping strokes/minute between 26-28
-cue “Chest Up!” if you see any athletes start to round out their back/shoulders
As athletes build in speed, focusing on the strokes/minute allows them to keep control of the recovery and recoil before
pushing back for the next stroke.
Have athletes break out a barbell after this Extended Warm-Up with the rower to start warming up the Front Squat.
(5:00 Cap)

With the empty barbell, bring athletes through a quick Barbell WU:
1 Round:
5 Romanian DL
5 Hang Muscle Clean
10 Elbow Punches
5 Front Squats (2 second pause at bottom)
Athletes can add weight to their bar and go through 1 more round.
Then have athletes continue to add weight to prepare for the workout (5:00 cap).
