4.11.13 SWOD

Dynamic

  • 5 sets of 1 max effort vertical jump (just close your eyes and channel this song)
  • 5 sets of 3 snatch grip deadlifts, 40% 1RM (of normal deadlift), explosive reps
  • Superset the max effort vertical jumps with the snatch grip deadlifts, taking 1-2 minutes between supersets

Conditioning

  • 5 rounds- 8 power clean (135#), 20 Leg lifts, 5-4-3-2-1 wall climbs (5 on the first round, 4 on the second, etc…), 12 box jumps
  • Prescribed rest (b/t rounds): 60-90 seconds

Choose a moderately heavy weight for power clean that still allows you to maintain form throughout.

4.4.13 SWOD

Dynamic

  • Box Squat– 5 explosive sets of 3 reps @ 50-60% 1RM (make sure the box is low enough to where your hammies are parallel to the floor at the squat’s lowest point)
  • Deadlifts– 3 explosive sets of 3 reps @ 50-60% 1RM

Conditioning

  • 5 rounds- Clean and jerk (155#) x 5, 10 TTB (toes to bar), 20 DU (double unders) 
  • Prescribed Rest (b/t rounds)- 60 seconds

Sub lower weights as necessary. If you can’t do the TTB, sub hanging knee raises. If you can’t do the DU, sub 30 jumping jacks.

As you may notice, I always program my conditioning workouts for 5 rounds. Why? 5 rounds usually take about 8-15 minutes to complete, which is about the ideal duration for maintaining high intensity throughout. #broscience

  • Check out this compilation video from DeFranco’s gym in New Jersey. A lot of NFL prospects will train here for the combine. After a couple months of this stuff, their speed/strength is on a whole. ‘nother. level. 
  • The workouts in this video make me/look really hard.
