120 ft hs walk 45 seconds
30 muscle ups 3:30
18 unbroken muscle ups
20 unbroken BMU

I can't let my aerobic base slow the team down so I will work hard to gain a bit of strength while gaining times on my aerobic capacity

Initially, before we set a plan we typically start with an assessment of the athlete using a note similar to what is used in the medical profession.

Gather:

(S) ubjective Data - What is not measurable, these are usually seen as emotional statements.

ie that hurts, I hate that, I'm not good at that.

Diagnose the symptom, find out why they, for example, they hate running, usually, it's because they lack endurance, or are not very good at it. It could also be related to back, hip or some other issue that gives insight to an injury or mobility issues for example

(O) bjective Data - This is measurable via weights and times.

To diagnose measurable data in this sport you need to have an understanding of baseline numbers through all domains in the sport. A 220 kg clean and jerk is a goal for someone who wants to win in the Olympics but not a reality at the Games where 170kg is more than likely the winning lift at the Games.

(A) ssessment - After gathering all the information available, the more information the better understanding of what is in front of you and what actions should be taken in the future.

(P) lan - Your assessment of the athlete now needs a plan in order to narrow down an appropriate strategy that should help your athlete correct weaknesses while not neglecting strengths. The plan takes in consideration that athlete's goal such as competing team versus individual and reverse engineers from the date of competition to the start of the program.

In the case of Margaux's plan we look at her goals and then strategize a plan for each example

30 muscle ups under 3:30

Week 1 90 total reps 3 x a week

Monday

Target System - CPK

Work Out

Max MU rest x 3 min

goal is first round hit 18 by end of week with no more than

6 rep drop in following rounds

How this helps the team

Synchronized mu will most likely show up say

60 total team synchronized mu will require

athlete 1 18 + 12 and

athlete 2 18 + 12 = 60

Wednesday

Target System - Glycolytic

Work Out - 20 ghd situps + 12 mu + 20 alternating db lunge 50/35 x 3 rounds

Friday

Target System - Oxidative

Work Out- 30 muscle ups for time

Games may want to test each member by forming a Congo line and stating each member must complete 30 mu before moving forward.

90 total muscle ups week one would increase to 100 total reps on week 2 with the end goal of week 7 at 150 total mu per week.

We do this for each domain and it can take a great amount of time to develop the plan but the athlete who is serious enough to work out at this level we feel should have a program that takes a lot of consideration

concept 2 bike 25 min into 20 sec all out 40-sec chill x 5 min

45 min mobility

include 10 ghr + 10 r hyper x 4 rounds in this time
