Target ≈ 50 minDate Body Weight Session RPE cap 7-8/10Coach: MMSx Team of Experts

Warm-Up · RAMPPhase 1 · Kinetic priming · T-spine, hips & cuff · 6-8 min

Time__ : __

1	Arm Circleships open, shoulders stay back — feel the bow draw across the torso	8 + 8
2	Thread the Needlesteady breathing rhythm	2 × 10
3	Face Pullthe cuff catches what the whip releases — slow 3-s eccentrics	2 × 12

Phase 2 · Approach, Crossover & Plant Primers8-10 min · rhythm first, speed second · full recovery

Time__ : __

1	Jump Ropecrossover rhythm — hips face the throw, feet cross under	4 × 20 m
2	A-Skipacute backward lean into the plant — chest chases the hips	4 × 15 m
3	Impulse Step — Jump & Stickblock leg lands EXTENDED and rigid — brake, don't bend	4 × 3/side

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

Time__ : __

2	Kettlebell Snatchhips open, shoulders stay back — feel the bow draw across the torso	3 × 5
3	Medicine Ball Chest Passbend the bow, not the lower back — ribs stay stacked	3 × 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.
