UPPER PREP 20

2 rounds (no rest between): > Bent over Black Burners x 8 - Begin in a hinged position, core engaged. Using light weights or just your arms, drive elbows back until they are even with shoulders, then rotate forearms up until they are even with your neck. Press overhead, trying not to let hands drop or wrists cheat!! > TRX scapular retraction x 10 - Use a TRX or rings , step in according to your strength level. Keeping elbows straight, let scaps spread apart, then draw them down and together to pull yourself up. > Forearm serratus push up to SA plank x 5 each side - Core on, neck neutral!

Try to keep hips square as you reach opposite hand to foot. > Plank bird dog x 8 each side - Begin in a plank, forearms pressing through floor. Reach opposite arm and leg out long, maintaining stability in the trunk. Feet wider is easier, narrow is hard! I like about hip width for myself! > Medball Hinge to OH step to box x 5 each side - Using a light medicine ball or plate, hinge at the hips, then explode up and forward onto the box. Own the top position, hands pressed overhead and ribs down, before repeating!
