Warm up - 3 attempts to hit a new PR!

1. NEVER sacrifice form to get a PR. If you are sacrificing form substantially, than it probably shouldn’t even count… so continue to perform the movements as we’ve all been taught.
2. A one-rep max lift is a bit different than a “set” of lifting, as far as the mental approach. It is only about 3 seconds long, so you can provide extreme focus and energy towards the barbell. As you approach the barbell, get a bit riled up. Think about something to get the adrenaline going, and when you approach, that is your “work zone.”
3. Make sure to take a massive deep breath before the lift, and hold it throughout the difficult portion of the lift. This will give you increased strength by providing a belt of air and stability throughout your core.
4. For safety, there will be a strict “THREE MISS” rule. Basically, it just means that if you miss any weight 3 times, it’s time to move to the next exercise and call it a day for that movement test.
5. If there is ANYTHING that you are hesitant about, or have ANY variety of questions for the trainer, please do not hesitate to ask them.
