“Mind Muscle” Hip Internal Rotation for Squatting

(Drop us your name if you want to be notified when the online Mind Muscle Class opens registration!)

Followed by…

One Set (Courtesy of Invictus Masters Coach, Nichole Kribs):
Banded Dead Bug Iso Hold x 2 minutes
Banded Clamshell Hold x 1 minute per side
Forward Cross Crawl x 1 minute per side
Straight Leg Iso Raise x 1 minute per side
Cross Under Lunge x 1 minute per side
Fire Hydrant Iso Hold x 90 seconds per side

Followed by…

Every 90 seconds for 6 minutes (4 sets):
Close Grip Overhead Squat x 5 reps

Then…

A.
Build to today’s 1-RM Tempo Front Squat @ 32X1
(Take a big belly breath and hold it tight on the 3-second descent and the 2-second pause in the bottom. If you feel like you need a breath during the first 2 phases of the lift, let some out by hissing the air in short bursts through your teeth.)

Followed by…

One set of:
Front Squat x Max Reps @ today’s 1-RM Tempo Front Squat
(perform these without any tempo prescription)

B.
Every 4 minutes, for 12 minutes (3 sets), for times:
500 Meter Row
10 Front Squats

Choose a load somewhere around 70-75% of your 1-RM Clean for the Front Squats, and take the weight from the floor.

ALTERNATE AT-HOME WORKOUT OPTION – LIMITED EQUIPMENT

For our at-home and travel workouts, please start a clock and allow it to run throughout your training session. The entire session will take 60-minutes or less, and staying accountable to the clock will allow you to maintain the appropriate intensity and stimulus.

When the clock starts, perform…

60 Seconds of Run/Bike/Row/Jog in Place
60 Seconds of Sampson Pulses Each Leg
60 Seconds of Pigeon Pulses Each Leg
60 Seconds of Plank from Elbows
60 Seconds of Run/Bike/Row/Jog in Place
60 Seconds of Deep Lunge Mountain Climbers @ 1111 Tempo
60 Seconds of Alternating Pigeon Stretches @ 1111 Tempo
30 Seconds of Side Plank Each Side
60 Seconds of Run/Bike/Row/Jog in Place
30 Seconds of Inchworms
30 Seconds of Hang from Pull-Up Bar OR Farmer Hold
30 Seconds of Air Squats

When the running clock reaches 15:00, perform the following…

Four sets of:
8-12 Tempo Dumbbell or Kettlebell Front Squats @ 3311
8-12 Supinated-Grip Strict Pull-ups OR Supinated-Grip Bent-Over Rows
8-12 Dumbbell or Kettlebell Push Press @ 2113
Rest 60 seconds between sets

*This is a progression off of last week, we have increased the tempo, and removed the every 90 seconds. That said, it is still a strength portion so do not rush the quality of each rep, and stick to the tempo!

When the running clock reaches 38:00, perform the following…

Three rounds for time:
400 Meter Run OR 500 Meter Row OR 30/25 Calorie Assault Bike
30 Russian Kettlebell Swings
20 Alternating Single Leg V-Ups

TIME CAP = 15 MINUTES!

Followed by…

5-10 minutes of breath work lying down in a comfortable position.

Inhale for 3-5 seconds through your nose…
Brief hold in…
Exhale for 6-10 seconds through your mouth (like you are blowing a whistle)…
Brief hold out.

Keep the ratio of inhale to exhale at a 1:2.

Thanks TLH, as soon as I’d got my breathing under control it was ok, but first few reps were tough for sure!!

Was happy to see that the August 1 workout was something I could do with my hip pains, so I did it today:

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 6, 7, 8 minutes (2 min rest in betweeen).
400 Meter Run (once)
immediately followed by rounds of…
40 Double-Unders
20 Kettlebell Swings (24/16 kg)
10 Down Ups

6 min: 2 rds + 40 +13
7 min: 3 rds
8 min: 3 rds + 40 + 15

Happy to have maintained same pace.
