2	World's Greatest Stretchsteady breathing rhythm	2 × 10
3	Scapular Push-Upthe 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	Crossover Carioca — javelin rhythmcrossover rhythm — hips face the throw, feet cross under	5 × 20 m

Throw with the body, armor the arm — flexor-pronator work weekly, rigid block leg, stop at any medial-elbow or lumbar pinch. Scale load to your level, stop at pain, follow the BPIT Principle of Intensity and NASM/ACSM/ACE safety guidance. Educational — not medical advice.
