3Dead Bugpattern before pace — position sets the speed limit6/side
Phase 2 · Reactive Power & Elasticity6-8 min · sub-max explosive · full rest between efforts
Time__ : __
1Shuttle Runground contact soft and quiet — hear nothing4 × 4
2Ball Slamown the deceleration — land it like you'd lower a child3 × 5
Phase 3 · Primary Kinetic Engine18-22 min · paired patterns · rest 90 s between pairs

2Pallof Pressribs stacked while you rotate — turn, don't tilt3 × 8/sidekg
3Rotational Throwoffset load — hips stay quiet and level3 × 30 s/side
Progression: Loading rule: the pattern must look identical loaded and unloaded — if the shape changes, the load is lying to you. +2 reps before +2.5 kg.

Functional loading demands positional integrity — regress range before load with knee/ankle restrictions. Scale load to your level, stop at pain, follow the BPIT Principle of Intensity and NASM/ACSM/ACE safety guidance. Educational — not medical advice.
