Pro Level Pre-Season training Macrocycle 2-B

Weeks 31-36 of Macrocycle 2 for Pre-Season training. This is a Tuesday workout(upper body). Do 5-10 minutes of a dynamic warm-up to start workout. Complete straight sets of 60 seconds rest between sets.

Explosive Pushup

1. Start by getting into a push-up position.
2. Lower yourself to the ground and then explosively push up so that your hands leave the ground.
3. Catch your fall with your hands and immediately lower yourself into a pushup again and repeat.
4. Repeat for the recommended repetitions.

Hang High Pull

Keep torso straight but bent forward at the hips slightly.
Explosively raise the bar by extending the hips, knee and ankle in a “jumping action”.
Keep your elbows out and shoulders directly above bar as long as possible.
Keep the bar close to the body.
Once you have extended the lower leg shrug your shoulders and at maximum elevation of the shoulders start pulling with the arms.
Keep the elbows high during the pull until the highest point.
This should be a fluid motion where all the steps flow together.

Use 80-90 of max here, for pull. Use a heavier weight than you would on cleans.

Hang Snatch

Keep torso straight but bent forward at the hips slightly.
Explosively raise the bar by extending the hips, knee and ankle in a “jumping action”.
Keep your elbows out and shoulders directly above bar as long as possible.
Keep the bar close to the body.
Once you have extended the lower leg shrug your shoulders and at maximum elevation of the shoulders rotate the arms up and around above your head by exploding forward with your hips.
Slightly flex the hips and knees to absorb the weight.
This should be a fluid motion where all the steps flow together.

Use a lighter weight than on a regular snatch, but still heavy enough to do no more than 1-2 reps.
