What a great first week! There are two things we ask from our players everyday. First show up with a positive attitude, and second, give your best effort. This group did not disappoint us one bit. On the contrary, our upper classmen showed great leadership by not only encouraging the younger players, but modeling the way we do things at Ripon High. The kids went through some very difficult workouts (see todays WOD below- this was brutal!) but there was no whining or complaining, just great effort. This is how you improve, by pushing your own limits, you will never know what you are capable of doing unless you push yourself to the limit. One of the common misconceptions people have about football players is that we spend all our time working on our bench press or in the squat rack. What they fail to realize is we are training to enhance our players ATHLETICISM. What we do in the weight room is really only a part of the way we workout. Check out the video of our one of the weeks earlier workouts.
WOD
Clean 65% x 5, 75% x 5, 85% x 5 or more
Push Press- 5 sets x 5 reps
Teams of 5
3 rounds
Mountain Climbers
Pushups
Jumping Jacks
Overhead plate hold (varsty- 45#, F/S- 25#)
Catwalk
One member of the team at each station performs the exercise while one member runs to the top of the catwalk and back. As soon as he is back, team rotates. Once each member completes each station- that is one round. This was one difficult workout. I will post some video of this weekend.
