2Wall Slidesteady breathing rhythm2 × 10
3Band Pull-Apartthe cuff catches what the whip releases — slow 3-s eccentrics2 × 12

Phase 3 · Throw Ballistics & Bow Tension10-12 min · 100% intent along the delivery line · rest 60-90 s
Time__ : __

3Medicine Ball Chest Passbend the bow, not the lower back — ribs stay stacked3 × 5
Progression: GPP rule: the arm is built last — legs, trunk and cuff earn throwing volume. Film the block from the side; a bending lead knee is a failed rep, not a style.
