#1 Team Workout
Partner 1 Deadlift X 15
Partner 2 Decline Push-Ups until partner 1 is done
**Switch positions and repeat 3 times
#2 Maximum Rounds in 10:00
Overhead Squat X 5
V Ups X 10
Broad Jumps X 5
The level of tension necessary to complete the deadlifts on workout #1 does not allow the athlete to fall into a pattern of rhythmic breathing as one would in a steady state cyclic activity (running, swimming, etc.). The ability to function in a state of oxygen debt and erratic (not erotic) breathing is invaluable in sports and high stakes situations. Moving from the tension required by the deadlifts immediately to the decline push-ups requires near constant support from the stabilizers. All-in-all, a lot more fun then crunches!
Workout #2 requires propulsion of the body in different planes via hip extension with a contraction movement (the v ups) thrown in for good measure.
