Welcome back fellas.  We'll be running timed 40's on Thursday or Friday, I'll let you know tomorrow.  Also, agility drills will be added this week.  We will either meet one night to go over them or I will take video and post them so you guys can know what to do when I post these drills.

Saturday 11/28

Make sure you get some work in today.  I'm not going to post a specific workout because I know some guys don't have access to a gym or all the equipment needed.  Be ready to hit it hard when you get back in town.  Get ready to buckle down every day to make sure you're getting your baseball work in and taking care of school.  Your goal should be to not miss a workout, hitting session, etc. for any reason and the way you do this is by managing your time.  See you fellas soon.

Tuesday 11/24

Couple things... I will continue posting workouts through the Thanksgiving break.  If you have access to the equipment required to do these workouts, do the prescribed workout.  If not, you guys are on your own for a few days, but be sure and get some work in during the break.  If any running is posted, you should be able to do it no matter where you are, so get this done.

We are moving into a new phase of the program, a more power specific phase.  We will be incorporating more explosive movements, if you have any questions be sure to ask me and I can come help you with these movements.  Also, as soon as you get back we will add agility workouts to the program so be ready for that when you get back.

Strength
Deadlift
5 @ 65% of 1RM
5 @ 75% of 1RM
5+ @ 85% of 1RM
- Do 10 (5 each leg) Explosive step ups upon completion of a set.  Rest 2 min after step ups.
- These are 3 different sets of 5.  1 RM = 1 Rep Max, get used to this terminology.  There is a chart in the weight room that gives percentages of 1 Rep Max which makes this process pretty easy.  If not, you guys are smart and can figure these weight out.  Base 1RM off of your last max effort lift.

WOD
4 x 8 Explosive Side-2-Side Jumps (4 sets of 4 each leg)
-Try and see how far you can go laterally.  Really load up between reps and explode of the plant leg)

Superset the next two exercises...
4 x 10 Step up to 1 legged RDL (4 sets of 5 each leg)
4 x 10 Pistols (4 sets of 5 each leg)
- Use the bench if you need support at the bottom of the squat, but only as support.


3 Rounds of as many clapping pushups as you can do.  After each round, hold a front plank for 1 min, then go on to the next round of pushups.

Monday 11/23

Strength
Hang Cleans
3 x 6
- 10 Alternating lunge jumps immediately following the set (5 each leg)
- Jump as high as possible each jump
- Rest 2 min after jumps

WOD
10 Rounds:
4 Pullups
4 Knees-2-Elbows
-Try and stay on the bar as long as possible

Running
(10) 100 yd sprints
-Start each sprint at the top of the minute
