MINDSET - DAY 4 - W.O.L.F
WARM-UP - DAY 4 - WEIGHTED JUMPROPE AND BALLISTICS
NOTE: If you do not have a weighted jumprope or a jumprope, just jump in place and move your arms as if you have one!
WHY? Ballistic stretching helps you get the most out of each jump and each rep. The more you get out of each jump and each rep, the more gains you will get by the end of it. It has also been shown that weighted jump rope before a work can help get the most out of each jump during a session. SOURCE
WORKOUT - DAY 4 - EXPLOSIVENESS
GOAL: This is another explosiveness lesson. Pay attention to the straps and the barefeet tips. Don't be afraid to add a little weight! I hope you are already noticing the power of altitude drops!
WARNING: THESE ARE CHALLENGING WORKOUTS - BE PREPARED! AND MAKE SURE YOU DID THE WARM-UP
REMINDERS:
- Do every exercise as fast and as EXPLOSIVE as you can
- Also focus on, getting off the ground FAST when you jump
- Make sure however, you also maintain CONTROL
