Row/ Burpee Progression
Segmented stroke drill:
10 strokes arms only (legs extended, 10-15 degree layback- support from core, focus on squeezing the shoulders back)
10 strokes arms and back (hinge at hips, arms hang in tension until layback is achieved, then bend arms and squeeze back)
10 strokes 1/2 slide (half return, arms do not bend and no layback until leg drive is complete, lats should be engaged the whole time)
10 strokes full slide (same as 1/2 but with full return)
