Coach’s Notes:
Today’s workout has a little bit of compounding in it, with the swings and the straight leg deadlifts each working the back, hips and hamstrings. Because of this, don’t be surprised if those muscles fatigue and start to feel sore or tight. Yes, they’re in your back, but they’re muscles just like any other muscles and need to be worked and strengthened. The lunges represent our only chance to relax the “posterior chain” (the muscle system running down the back side of your body), and hit our quads. Be sure to stay upright in the lunges as the workout progresses. A tired back during lunges will lead many people to lean forward too much. Stay upright with shoulders stacked right over hips the entire time.
