Let me know in the comments

Time Domain

  • 3 Rounds - you will be performing 11 reps per round

    • Start the clock

    • Execute 11 pushups at whatever level you choose

    • Rest for an entire 1:30

    • Start again at the top of the next minute

    • Perform each push-up perfectly. Don’t rush. Enjoy the movement. It’s not a race to the end. Imagine your muscles working. Squeeze your glutes at the top of the pushup. Stay tight. Squeeze your abs to keep a firm trunk. Try to blast out of the bottom explosively.

Workout Level Suggestions

  • Level 1, 2, & 3: All levels perform 11 pushups

    • Level 1: Knees

    • Level 2: Traditional

    • Level 3: Hand-release

Coaches Plan

Each set I plan to lower very controlled, but not slow, then, when my chest hits the deck, EXPLODE up to plank.
