Target ≈ 45 minDate Body Weight Session RPE cap 7/10Coach: MMSx Team of Experts

Warm-Up · RAMPPhase 1 · Ankle, hip & cuff priming · 6-8 min

Time__ : __

1	Band External Rotation — slow eccentricsteady breathing rhythm	8 + 8
2	World's Greatest Stretchheel strikes, knee tracks the toes — torso stays TALL	2 × 10
3	Band Pull-Apartthe cuff decelerates every smash — pull twice what you press	2 × 12

Phase 2 · Split-Step, 6-Corner Footwork & Lunge Decel8-10 min · react to the call · micro contacts, drop the COM

Time__ : __

1	Shuttle Runsplit-step lands AS the shuttle is hit — micro contact, react	5 × 8 s
2	Cariocachassé — feet never cross, hips stay low and square	5 × 8 s
3	Bulgarian Split Squatheel strikes, knee tracks the toes — torso stays TALL	4 × 3/side stick-and-spring

Phase 3 · Jump-Smash & Rotational Ballistics10-12 min · 100% intent per throw/jump · every landing silent · rest 60 s

Time__ : __

1	Tuck Jumpland silent — bend to absorb, never crash a smash landing	4 × 4
2	Ball Slamhips → chest → arm → wrist — the shuttle leaves off the SNAP	4 × 5
3	Overhead Throwfinish with forearm pronation — thumb rolls down through contact	3 × 6

Phase 4 · Court Strength & Tendon Armor16-20 min · unilateral forward-reach bias + tendon eccentrics · rest 2 min

Time__ : __

1	Eccentric Calf Lowering — slow 4 sAchilles loads slow — 4-s lowering, zero bounce	3 × 12 slow
2	Seated Calf RaiseAchilles loads slow — 4-s lowering, zero bounce	3 × 12
3	Scapular Push-Upthe cuff decelerates every smash — pull twice what you press	3 × 12 slow
4	Wrist Circleswrist extensors strong and slow — the snap needs a stable base	2 × 20 m

Progression: Loading rule: unilateral first, forward-reach mechanics on split squats — the court is played one leg at a time. Cuff pulls twice the pressing volume; wrist extensors weekly.

Phase 5 · Decompression & Parasympathetic Reset4-6 min · psoas & rec-fem lengthening, spinal traction, breathwork

Time__ : __

1	Dead Hangsteady breathing rhythm	2 × 30 s
2	Calf Stretch WallAchilles loads slow — 4-s lowering, zero bounce	45 s/side
3	Box Breathingsteady breathing rhythm	4-4-4-4 · 2 min

Coach notes: Log every load and every time box — next week's card asks for 2% more.

Lunges are earned and landings are silent — Achilles loads slow, knee tracks the toes, cuff pulls double the pressing. Scale load to your level, stop at pain, follow the BPIT Principle of Intensity and NASM/ACSM/ACE safety guidance. Educational — not medical advice.
