Subject: Welcome back to Phase 8!

Beautiful day to you, Friend!



How was your time a way from CYBBC?  Have you missed us?  I've missed you and though I would have welcomed a few more days with V's, the weeds would start growing if I was away any longer so, its time to continue the process of making change happen.



So...did you work on your self-care last week?  Did you strength train?  Are you o.k. with how things went for you last week regarding your self-care and strength training?  



We finished 10 weeks straight before a week off.  That was a CYBBC record for our first 10.5 years and it'll be broken come September 3rd, when we start 16 weeks straight.  


What was that like for you training 10 weeks straight or at least having the option to train 10 weeks straight?


Phase 8
DB Load is 25-45%.  Go up 5% in weight if you can.

  • if do 1-2 sets of MB's and Hurdles; 
  • practice DB complex with new weight; 
  • do 1 set for each strength exercise; 
  • finish a half court triathlon relay, get through 6 lengths of the band relay and 2 sets of base running.
  • make all your scheduled workouts

Week 4 Goal:
  • schedule your strength workouts
  • either use an interval app to do the workout card or use the sets and reps recommendations on the workout card
  • the interval app will let you do the full workout in ~60 minutes
  • using the workout card and doing the full workout as written will probably take 90minutes
  • if you have 60minutes and you're not using an interval app, do 1 set for every exercise!
  • if you don't have MB's do linear or lateral hand fires;
  • if you don't have hurdles either do squat jumps and 1-leg hops or ground zero squat jumps and hurdle squats
  • or cut them out and start with the DB complex 
  • if you don't have access to a pull up bar or a TRX suspension trainer do DB Pullovers and Quadruped Opposites
  • for conditioning you can do the triathlon relay most any where if you can deal with any self-consciousness; do a band free relay unless you can make a friend; do base running sprints around a baseball diamond or a rectangle; other wise do 4 sprints of progressively longer distances or time (e.g. 30, 60, 90, 120yds or 5, 10, 15, 20sec sprints)
  • make all your scheduled workouts!
  • finish your workout card and bring it in for a prize and recognition!
  • hit your cardio goal!
  • practice your daily habits!
  • get at least (1), 4 for 4!
