Week 5 · Session A · Lower Body & Landing

Landing first, then the three lifts every skater carries into high school: the squat, the hinge and the split squat. Light implements, perfect reps, and the groin work that keeps a growing body out of the trainer’s room.

This week

The most work of the block, and still nothing is a max and nothing goes to failure.
