In this episode: We talk about how to use the Progression Templates in Real Life Workouts!
Its all good knowing the progression exercises, but if you cant turn them into workouts then you will struggle to achieve any particular skill.
This episode will give you examples for every point in the workout:
What To Do First
The very first thing you should do when you are working towards a skill – you guessed it – its the Highest level Progression (if that is a straddle lever, then start there.
Like I always say: Front Load Your Training!
This is especially important if you are working on a skill.
If you aren’t training it before anything else, you will never be training it at your best.
Instead, do it first, when you have the most energy, you will have the best form and the longest hold at the start of your workouts.
What To Do Afterwards
Afterwards, you can start working the skills in a reps and sets kind of fashion. Drop your progression exercise down a step (Straddle > Single Leg), and start doing them for Reps.
Lever Up into your single leg, as many reps as you can (both legs) you can do sets of 10 or even 5 if that is all you can do, but it is important to work it as a dynamic exercise not just an isometric hold.
What To Do At The End
Oh the end of the workout.
You think you are done, but you aren’t. Its time for finishers.
I recommend doing this as a Drop Set in the podcast, where you start at the highest and move down to the lowest level progression.
Lift up, do your hold and lever down – even if it just a 2 second hold – then immediately jump up and do the next progression down, all the way to a simple tuck progression.
