Reactive Strength
A focus today was building the reactive strength through the achilles tendon and our legs to help with jumping. Started with jump roping first while the neural activation for quick skips is fresh.
3 times through
25 skips
25 side bells or ski jumps
25 split jumps
12/12 single leg jumps
5 double unders
Then back squatted or push pressed depending on what you did this week. Finally, a little steady metcon.
4 Rounds, 30 seconds on - 30 rest
squats
push press
clubbell hammer swings
KB 1-Arm Swings
Bill’s squat is almost parallel, a big step forward from where he was before. Christine’s squat is coming along nicely as well!
