Today we start and end with our calisthenic warm-up and cool down and throw a
little rowing and power cleans in the middle. There's no break between the rowing
and the power cleans. The warm-up and cool down are max or near max rep sets
with lots of rest between efforts. This is a tough one.

Often, there will be parallel bars as well as a pull-up bar.
Run 400 meters (once around for those new to the track)
Do 50 pull-ups in as many sets as required

See how tough you can make this workout. This is a high intensity training session.
We're just doing one set of each exercise make it a killer! Each set should be a max effort.
No resting during set. Rest as needed between exercises.
Report your efforts for feedback. Include times in your workout, but don't include stretch time in total.
Start with a calisthenic, whole body, single set per exercise mini-routine.
We will explore dozens of these "mini workout warm-ups". They all contain
elements of hip/trunk flexion & extension, pushing and pulling.

No metabolic conditioning today. That suggests something about tomorrow to those
of you who are paying attention.
We will continue today on our recurrent theme of core-focus.
1) Hanging from the pull-up bar SLOWLY lean back and lift your feet towards your
hands until your tows gently touch the bar. Repeat for a total of twenty times.
2) Arch rock for one minute. If you've forgotten what the arch rock is go to: http://www.audiblefaith.com/artists/rharrell/gympag/condstr.html
(You are supposed to be practicing for the moves on this page regularly anyway!!
3) Fifty sit-ups with substantial support (towel or abmat, etc.) under the lumbar spine.
Knees up and apart, feet together.
4) Thirty back extensions.
5) Hollow Rocks for sixty seconds. Again if you've forgotten: http://www.audiblefaith.com/artists/rharrell/gympag/condstr.html
6) 20 Stiff legged deadlifts. These are performed with an arched back! From the stand,
bow down letting the chest lag behind as far as possible. Do not surrender the arch in
your lower back. Done right you won't get anywhere near the floor with the barbell. If
your mechanics are correct you will feel an extraordinary tightness in the hamstrings.
7) Hold an L for sixty seconds. Repeat two times for a total of three efforts.
8) Twenty five times perform a "hug-a-twinky". If you don't know the movement here it is: http://www.audiblefaith.com/artists/rharrell/gympag/condstr.html
Some of you may be tempted to slough off the moves that you can't perform. You need to
understand that what you can't do here clearly defines your deficiencies as an athlete.
Any reasonably conditioned athlete can do all of these without much difficulty. If you find
a chink in your armor, work daily on correcting it.
