GOAL: RPE 6-7 | Bodyweight + Odd Object Push/Pull — slow and intentional. For the Ring FLR, play around with your grip on the rings…what does it feel like palms in vs. palms forward. How about the position of the hands in relation to the body…hands in front of the head vs. hands pushed down toward midline. Try to hold for the full 1:30.

(Posterior Focus.) Hitting our second posterior focused day this week. Remember in April we will see chest/arms and posterior each 2x per week. Barbell Hip Thrusts can be painful on the pelvic bone. If you don’t have a roller pad or a hip pad, 2 folded towels on the waist can do the trick. I don’t like wrapping the bar with the towels…they always fall off.
