ALPHA Human Performance: Training Mask used on my "Functional Day"

I had what I consider a "functional day" using my Training Mask. It wasn't the typical functional workout that many in my field would consider to be very "functional". I just called it a functional day as it was a day I did some different movements centered around explosiveness, core and rotational work.

Explosiveness For my explosiveness I performed hang cleans on the platform with a modest weight
Power When it came to power, I did plyo box jumps while holding a medicine ball
Rotational For my rotational exercise, I did both the kneeling wood chop and the War Hammer (by Pur Motion) rotational clean.
Core I used the glute ham machine in reverse for plate sit ups for my core work

......and I wore the Training Mask the entire time to challenge my cardio fitness.

4) As the dumbbell gets to its highest point, very quickly rotate your elbow under the weight while extending your arm.

The dumbbell will rest over the top of your shoulder with the palm facing away from your body. "Catch the weight with knees slightly bent
