FASTEST TIME TAKES IT!
Take a prolonged stretching warm-up and cool-down.
200 sit-ups no matter how long it takes. Make them nice!
Stretch thoroughly. Used as a rest to slow down pace and come in to the next phase relatively fresh.
Do 50 dips, with or without assistance. This is a 50RM set, i.e., ideally, 51 should be impossible.
Immediately, run for ten minutes on a “windsprint” bike or a stairclimber at max level.
Rest as needed.
Do 35 dips, with or without assistance. This is a 35RM set, i.e., ideally, 36 should be impossible.
Immediately, run for five minutes on a “windsprint” bike or a stairclimber at max level.
Rest as needed.
Do 20 dips, with or without assistance. This is a 20RM set, i.e., ideally, 20 should be impossible.
Immediately, run for five minutes on a “windsprint” bike or a stairclimber at max level.
200 sit-ups no matter how long it takes. Again, make them nice!
Note: Do as many of the dips as you can without assistance on failure jump to Gravitron
(or like) and complete set with minimal assistance. We are exhausting the pushing function
partially with an eye to making the arm supporting contribution on the bike or stairlcimber
very tough
1) "Warm Up": Bike 20 minutes at a warm-up pace.
We are doing three sets of back squats at twenty-one reps each.
Choose a weight that you feel you can handle comfortably for
twenty-one reps of regular back squats. These specialized movements
are tough! Make damned sure you warm-up thoroughly with "air squats"
and stretching first.
2) "Power squat": Lower and rise as quickly as you can while maintaining
PERFECT form. Repeat 20 times.
3) "Bottom to bottom": Lower to full squat position (thighs parallel to floor),
hold for a full ten seconds, rise and immediately upon full extension of hip
and leg return to bottom and hold for ten seconds. Repeat 20 times.
4) "Super slow": Take twenty seconds to reach bottom and twenty seconds
to reach top again. Repeat 20 times.
5) Finally, how long can you maintain a 2:00 min. 500-meter pace average?
Set the rower for "Avg 500 meter pace" and stop and record the time at the
instant you fall under the 2:00 minute average (2:00 for men and 2:10 for women).
