Best barbell warm ups I’ve done in a while

+

Feet elevated back bridge hold x 20 sec, new set every 90-120 sec x 4-5, work on finding some range here through upper back ALONG with hip extension

Had to push down on a box as I was not able to use the wall to create the bridge

+

Back bridge from GHD iso hold x 30 sec, new set ever 90-120 sec x 4-5. elevate a surface to drive your hands into off the ground, body line should look like the drill above but with lower body supported we can actually work on more strength in this position

This might be one of the hardest single tasks I have done in a while, I do feel this will open up and improve these positions but by the last set I started feeling pretty dizzy and uncomfortable

+

Face up GHD sorenson hold at parallel – 30 sec on, rest 90 sec (hands at sides easiest, hands overhead hardest)

Loaded face down sorenson hold at parallel – 30 sec on, rest 90 sec x 4 sets (hug a weight plate or light med ball to chest, drive contraction through hamstrings/glutes)

Was able to feel like I could do the Sorenson face down but the face up just make my stomach queasy after the inverted work

2 min bike, inhale through nose exhale through mouth

1 min bike, regular breathing

+

+

3 rounds, not for time

3/arm KB TGU, unbroken

6/arm BB suitcase deadlifts, unbroken, moderate to tough

9 1-1/4 BB hip thrusts, moderate to tough

44 on TGU – 95 on suitcase and 135 on 1 ¼ – might have been able to go a little heavier on hip thrust but that was still pretty tough
