COMPETE – 22.12.06

WARM-UP

2 sets:

1:00 couch stretch (each leg)

1:00 pigeon stretch (each leg)

1:00 frog stretch

2 sets:

20 calf raises

15 tibial raises

10 squat-therapy reps

1 set:?

10 front squats (empty bar)

10 up-downs

10 front squats (55/75 lb)

10 lateral burpees over the bar

5 front squats (65/95 lb)

5 lateral burpees over the bar

NOTES

Take your time in the warm-up to get your hips opened up for the front squats.

Use the calf raises and tibial raises to warm up your ankles. These will help increase blood flow to the area and result in a more upright squat.

Do at least 3 warm-up sets with the barbell to build to working weight, even if that means doing 2 warm-up sets at working weight. It’s better to be a little over-warm than not warm enough.
