3 sets:
5 1¼ Squats (empty bar)
5 Push Press (empty bar)
5 Scap Pull-ups
10 Alternating Box Step-ups
2. Strength Prep
Strength: Athletes will be working back and forth between tempo front squats and weighted pull-ups. Tempo for front squats is a 3 sec negative and 1 sec standing (contraction) portion. For weighted pull ups we will use 50% of the heavy single weight established during the test week. If athletes used a band during test week to complete a strict pull-up, they should move the band up 2-3 spots on the rig from test week height and perform strict reps.
3. Workout Prep
2 sets:
3 Pull-ups
3 Dumbbell Front Squats
4 Dumbbell Front Rack Walking Lunge Steps
3 Chest to Bar

STIMULUS and GOALS
The stimulus for today’s chipper is a moderate, steady grind. Legs and shoulder endurance will be put to the test here. Athletes should look to stay consistent on the gymnastics with little rest between sets and push for near unbroken sets on the dumbbell movements.
Breathe through the motion, and don’t pump the body up by going all out on the dumbbells. Smooth and steady will pay off in the long run.
