Coaching & session plan
BW45-111 · Push Strength + Lower Body · Base01 Prepare · 00:00–05:00
- Easy march / walk · 60 sBegin slowly; check the route and breathing.
- Comfortable shoulder circles · 60 sUse small, unforced arm movements.
- Unloaded hinge rehearsal · 60 sMove the hips back with soft knees.
- Supported squat / step rehearsal · 60 sUse a comfortable depth or low step.
- First-pair rehearsal · 60 sRehearse easier versions of the first two stations; no loaded or maximal efforts.
Readiness comes before the clock. Take extra preparation or pause whenever needed.
02 Main work · 05:00–41:00
Six consecutive pairs, A1/A2 through F1/F2. Repeat each pair three times. Each minute holds up to 40 s work and at least 20 s recovery or transition.
Effort: 5–7/10; finish with 2–4 good repetitions in reserve. These are 36 station exposures, not 36 maximal strength sets.
03 Scale & progress
Use the easier option named on the exercise card, shorten the lever or range, and stop the work early. Pause the clock when additional recovery or setup time is needed.
Repeat this selection until the target can be completed with stable technique on two occasions. Then change one variable only: range, repetitions within the time cap, or modest resistance. Never progress just to fill the timer.
04 Recover · 41:00–45:00
- Ease the pace · 60 sEasy walk or march.
- Comfortable upper-body movement · 60 sRelax the shoulders and arms.
- Comfortable lower-body movement · 60 sChoose gentle ankle or hip movement, without forcing range.
- Settle and record · 60 sLet breathing settle; note how the session felt.

Before you start
Equipment: Floor or mat; Stable chair against wall; Floor / mat; Fixed low step
Inspect supports and clear the floor. Chairs, steps and benches must not tip or slide. No improvised doorframe anchors, glass weights or unverified hanging supports.
Advanced exercise present: use only after the component movement has been demonstrated with control.
Unloaded shoulder-control drills do not provide the same progressive pulling load as rows. Do not treat this as a complete pulling-strength programme.
Advanced session: confirm the component skills before starting.
Stop any movement that causes sharp or increasing pain, dizziness or unusual breathlessness. No pain, calorie-burn or injury-prevention outcome is guaranteed.
