Week 3 · Session C · Horizontal Power & Reactive Strength

The acceleration vector. Broad jumps and throws for raw horizontal output, continuous bounds and hurdles for elastic strength, and a sled to put it against resistance — this is the session that shows up in the first three strides.

This week

Week 3 of 4 — react. Continuous hops and hurdles, roughly 120 contacts. Minimum ground time, no pausing between reps. Depth work unlocks this week.
