Workout Notes:

  1. We are going to rough up your legs this week!

  2. You don't want to start with the KB swings. Wait to do them until after the crunches. In fact, it'll be best if you perform the warm-up exercises in the order written.

  3. Thrusters are notorious for making your back twinge if you get out of whack a bit (poor form). Be careful with the weight you select.

  4. Because thrusters can be back wreckers (when done poorly) I'm not going to chance a twingy back all week. I'll be shallowing up my squat just a bit. This has been helping me tons lately.

  5. Thrusters are also notorious soremakers. This is redundant, but BE CAREFUL.

  6. Remember, thrusters are about generating drive from your hips to drive the bar OH.

  7. Notice the weights for the walking lunges. Any time you see "ea" after the weight suggestions, you are expected to do a weight in EACH hand.

  8. If your hams and glutes are roughed up tomorrow, give us a "HELL YEAH!" in comments.
