2) Coaching Section:

  • Split Drill: 6 reps (VIDEO)

    • If there are seems in the rubber have them straddle it, this will allow them to see their foot spacing when they split so they are not walking a tight rope. On command, say “drop”. Have them focus on dropping down as if going through a trap door when they split their feet, front leg bent not quite to 90 degrees, back leg slightly bent, then say “front foot” they will bring their front foot back, then say “back foot” then bring that foot up so both feet are back under. Coach during and between. Don’t be afraid to hold them in positions. Repeat for prescribed reps.

  • Segmented split jerk: 6 reps

    • Use a PVC for this. Start in good position with feet underneath hips, PVC in front rack with elbows slightly in front of the bar. Say “dip”, they will push their knees out as if breaking a rubber band that is around their knees, whole foot in contact with the ground, chest up. Say “push” they will extend their hips and bring the barbell up to forehead height and pause. Focus on legs starting this movement. Say “drop”, they will drop into their split and lock PVC out overhead. Keep reiterating that the focus is to get under the weight, not press the weight. Arms covering ears, all mechanics mentioned in split drill. Say “front foot” they will bring their front foot back, then say “back foot” then bring that foot up so both feet are back under.Don't be afraid to hold them in positions. Repeat for prescribed reps.
