Functional Training Push-Pull Integration — Upper Patterns Day

Horizontal & vertical push-pull balance, scapular control under load · Stage · Power & Chaos (velocity, odd objects, reactivity)
Target ≈ 50 minDate  Body Weight  Session RPE cap 7-8/10Coach: MMSx Team of Experts
Warm-Up · RAMPPhase 1 · Kinetic priming · ground flow & dissociation · 6-8 min
Time__ : __
1Glute Bridgeexhale on effort, move on the breath90 s
2Band Pull-Apartlong spine crown to tail — no segment collapses2 × 8
3Cat-Cowpattern before pace — position sets the speed limit6/side
Phase 2 · Reactive Power & Elasticity6-8 min · sub-max explosive · full rest between efforts
Time__ : __
1Squat Jumpground 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
Time__ : __
1Push-Uplong spine crown to tail — no segment collapses4 × 5 fastkg
2Chin-Uppattern before pace — position sets the speed limit4 × 5 fastkg
3Incline Push-Upexhale on effort, move on the breath3 × 10kg
4Seated Rowoffset load — hips stay quiet and level3 × 10kg
Progression: Chaos rule: odd objects and velocity expose the weak link — attack the wobble, not the weight. Full recovery between power efforts; power dies in fatigue.
Phase 4 · Carries & Functional Density8-12 min · continuous carries & locomotor density

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

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.
