Static/Dynamic Strength Training
(60 sec.) Isometric Squat
(20) Box Jumps
(20) Good Mornings
5 rounds for time. Quickly, after completing the 5th round, Rack a 45# barbell in the squat position and complete 30 steps on walking lunge.
Workout Notes: Isometric Squat: Squat with your back pressed against a wall and hold your legs at about parallel to the floor for 60 seconds. Move quickly to box jump, but be prepared to squat and jump hard... your legs are gonna be toast. Do quick good mornings, keeping your low back rounded, get a good glute ham stretch... repeat times five.
Doing the lunges after your workout is a real "gut check." As we get into better shape, I will be including these "finishing," moves as a mental/physical challenge. (Compare 02/24/2007)
