If it’s important, do it everyday — BUT! If your going to do it everyday, do it with the intention of developing technical mastery & intense focus. Keep it short, simple & robust.
If there were a short list of Important-Enough Movements that we would encourage everyone to practice everyday, they would be:
The Pull-Up
The Goblet Squat
The Turkish Get Up
The Push-up
The Kettlebell Swing
The Loaded Carry
Of course, there are other movements we could include in the Important-Enough List! However, this short list here is really rudimentary (fundamental) movements everyone should master before progressing to more technical lifts.
Making The Workout A Warm Up
The movements above are important-enough to do every day because they simply process the power to transform a persons general physical preparedness.
Often, strength coaches use these movements to formulate workouts & programs. We’ve been thinking — what prevents us from using them as our Warm Up? — If it’s important, do it everyday!
Program Minimum
3 Rounds
3x Swing Clean
3x Alternating Shoulder Press
3x Front Squat
3 Rounds
3x Pull Up
3x Lunge Variation
3 Rounds
10-15x KB Swings
1 TGU — R/L
📝 This serves as an example. Combine movements, set/reps and load as you see fit. We don’t suggest you perform more than 15 Reps on any movement except the KB Swing.
What if you Made This Workout Your Warm Up?
Let’s say you practiced this little 20 Minute Warm Up everyday for 30 Days!? — you (Dear Lifter) would accumulate 270 Pull-Ups, Shoulder Press & Front Squats. 1350 KB Swings, and 180 Turkish Get Ups. All in less than 10 hours of Total Work time. Do you see how it adds up?
Dear Lifter, simplicity is the key. Choose a weight that demands concentration, focus intently & master the fundamentals. You do not need a lot of reps — you’ll be accumulating them over time should you decide to practice them everyday. You should, because they are important enough.
