Sun August 30th 2020. “Hard People Do Hard Things” Week 1



-Anyone following the 4 day routine should not do “humpday pumpday”. They should do the active rest. Whether they do the Sabado Gigante (which is the same programming as humpday pumpday) is case by case depending how they feel from the week’s worth of work. Don’t over do it. The Sabado Gigante often overlaps things done during the week. When in doubt, push or drag sleds and do some curls.

-Afterburners: These are optional conditioning pieces of the programming. Whether a person completes this is dependent on their goals and calorie intake. If actual sustained strength and mass is the goal, the afterburners should not be done. At least not without increased calorie count to accommodate the extra effort. That being said, some sustained sweat should happen at least once a week. That is the active rest on Wednesday.

Additionally, some of the movements in the Afterburners are not found in the GainCity accessory work. If a person wants to get those movements in for accessory but doesnt want to overdo the sweats, just take the movements and rep counts out of the afterburner and do them like regular sets/reps.

DB Stepups Heavy

5 (each)

Box Jump

10

*Perform 5 DB stepups each leg, then move directly to box jumps

**Keep step up height at 90 degrees or less i.e. box height should not be so high that knees go past hips when stepping. Avoid a gross pelvic tilt. For shorter athletes, this means they will need to stack plates instead of using a box.

**Box jump height may be taller than stepup height if desired. Use two boxes if necessary, but focus on extending the hips and jumping tall. Don’t make the box so high that it becomes a tuck jump.

-Sled Drag

3x50m Heavy


Afterburner:

5 min AMRAP: 5 Ball Slams

10 Slam Ball Thruster

**Remember team, in order for a 5 minute or less workout to be effective, the work intensity must be very aggressive. If there is any juice left in the tank, it was done wrong.
