There Will Be Sweat

Probably some blood too. No tears though. Never tears.

Explosive Strength Training

I still have the triple clap pushup in my arsenal, but I want to start incorporating more explosive/speed strength training to make sure I stay explosive. I did everything with my trusty sandbag, so 80lbs across the board:

  • Sandbag getups x 5/side
  • Sandbag clean & press - 5 x 3
  • Sandbag sumo deadlift highpulls - 5 x 3
  • Complex Pair - repeat 4x
    • Sandbag floor press x 10
    • Plyometric pushups x 8
    • Sandbag lunges x 5/side
    • Lunge jumps x 8/side
  • Finisher: Sandbag shouldering - 2 x 10/side

High-rep shouldering is a great finisher. I was originally planning on doing a quick conditioning circuit after this session, but the finisher lived up to its name and I had nothing left in the tank. Also worth noting: the lunge jumps super-set is always torturous.
