Workout Brief

GOAL: Power, Post Chain, & Upper Body Endurance / Core

Today’s workout has us collecting reps in longer intervals than we may be used to. Our biggest priority here is maintaining the midline stability throughout the workout, particularly for the Snatches. The Devils Press can take a big toll on the back if they’re rushed.

Workout Brief

GOAL: Clean & Jerk Strength / Stamina & Upper Body Endurance

Today’s Clean and Jerk session is split into 2 interval styles. The goal is to provide rest more when the loading becomes heavier. Our main technical focus today is on the bar path and on the receiving position. In the Workout we have a push pull couplet. The biggest interference we’ll face today is grip & arm fatigue. Break up the Wall Balls because your arms will be overhead the entire workout.

Workout Brief

GOAL: Aerobic Conditioning & Heavy Day

Today’s workout is an aerobic + heavy day. Go heavy or harder on the ring dips and it is ok to break them up into two sets eventually. You’ll likely be doing 8-11 sets of dips. We can’t afford to go at full capacity on the row because it will simply take too much of a toll on our system. Pick a cadence that will allow you to breathe well but work at a consistent pace.

6 Burpee Box Jump Over (24/20)

Option C:

10 Rounds
6 Burpee Box Step Over (24/20)
30 Single Under

Workout Brief

GOAL: Squat Maintenance / Stamina

Today’s Back Squat section is tough. Three reps at this percentage will be hard but doable; focus on a quality, controlled descent in order to have a solid midline and control over the weight distribution.

For the Box Jump Overs, find an approach that has you moving consistently and stick with that approach. This will help create a rhythm which will turn into efficiency.
