How to approach the lifts
When building up to their 20 rep weight we recommend doing so with 3 sets of 3-5 reps to help prime their nervous system and body.
Encourage athletes create a strong rack position by keeping hands just outside of should width and also pressing up into the bar with palms (rather than just letting the bar sit up the traps)
Make sure athletes focus on a deep stomach breath before every lift.
It’s not about how fast athletes can complete these, but how consistent they can stay with maintaining form.
If an athlete misses a week, they should resume where they left off (don’t skip ahead to this week)
