Stadium Sprint Training Plan:Day 19 - Power

Stadium Sprint Training Plan:Day 19 - Power
Presented by Spartan Training®

Today will be your most strenuous workout in this 4 week Spartan Race Stadium Series program. We are combining strength and plyometrics together to develop maximum power.

During today’s workout, aim to minimize your rest periods, despite keeping your weight the same from the previous two weeks, while also increasing the repetitions. During the Stadium Race, you will need to perform a high volume of plyometric work including box jumps and ball slams. Today is when you get most comfortable in maintaining speed and consistency with high repetition.

Warm-Up:

Dynamic Warm Up

Main Set:

This workout is designed to be done as a circuit with minimal rest between exercises. Take a 2-5 minute rest between each round of exercises for maximum performance benefits.

KB/ Pancake Clean – 4 sets of 10 reps (RPE 7-8) – What’s RPE?

  • How: Start in your deadlift position, drive through your hips while pulling the weight to chest level and absorb the weight in a squat. This will teach you how to flip a tire and pick up a bucket or atlas stone.

Box JumpsSquat Jumps – 4 sets of 15 reps (RPE 7-8)

Lateral Pancake slams – 4 sets of 15 reps (RPE 7-8)

  • How: Slam the pancakes to your left and right sides, alternatively.

Power Push Ups – 4 sets of 10 reps (RPE 7-8)

  • Beginner: Try these on an incline
  • Advanced: Add a clap at the top or try hopping onto yoga blocks/ a low step.

Vertical Pancake Toss – 4 sets of 15 reps (RPE 7-8)

Ice Skaters – 4 sets of 15 reps (RPE 7-8)

  • Advanced: Try this on a slide board or in your socks on a slippery surface.

Jumping Pull Ups – 4 sets of 15 reps (RPE 7-8)

  • Tip: Use the jump to propel you to the top of the pull up then control as gravity pulls you down. This will build strength for a bodyweight pull up and it is the basis for every time you jump over a wall!

Burpees – 4 sets of 15 reps (RPE 7-8)

Cool Down

Pull out your favorite Acumobility SPARTAN Ball or Acumobility SPARTAN Eclipse Roller. Spend anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes on each muscle, depending on tightness. Everybody’s body adapts differently to power training. Familiarize yourself with your personal aches and soreness. Use this soreness and body aches as a guide to find the right muscle groups to release.
