At Week 9 in Horizon Strength, you've reached peak posture and core prep. Many of these exercises are very similar to work you've done in previous weeks. We want repetition at this stage of the game to continue refining your postural strength.
The sandbag clean to squat and split squats challenge your hips, while rows and dead bugs lock in your trunk strength. Your core’s job in Horizon is resisting any postural collapse -- this is where you'll feel the payoff on Event day. Mentally, focus on being deliberate in every rep. Don’t chase any additional weight. Instead, chase stability.
NOTES
- You will need: Ruck, Sandbag, and Kettlebell or Dumbbells
- This workout should take less than 50 minutes.
- If needed, rest 1-2 minutes between rounds.
- Always do your warm-up to help prevent injuries.
- Some video demonstrations may depict exercise tools other than what we suggest - the same cues and form will still apply unless otherwise noted.
