Workout Brief

GOAL: Squat Maintenance / Upper Body Pressing Endurance

Our Squat session this week is the overhead squat. Use your Snatch 1 Rep Max to guide the number if you don’t know your Overhead Squat Max. The workout will get increasingly difficult but the overall volume of these strict movements is on the lower side. We should see athletes getting the Double or Single under in 1 minute or less, the Dips should be performed in one, two, or at most three controlled sets, about 45 seconds of work and the Handstand Push Ups/Press will ideally be done unbroken or in two controlled sets.

Workout Brief

GOAL: Power Endurance / Core

Today’s workout is a BIG one. The biggest challenge we’ll face in today’s workout is tired legs, which will shorten the pull and make our feet slower. Run hard but under full control, break up the lighter sets to give our backs and post chain a fighting chance for the heavier loads.

Workout Brief

Workout Brief

GOAL: Snatch Strength / Power & Core Endurance

Today’s Snatch section has us lifting a lot of bars! We’re doing twelve sets of one and we’re doing the same weight for three sets. Because of this, our main technical focus for the day will be on the first pull. The Workout can be seen as an extension of the snatch section. Work to finish the 63 Sit Up in 2:30 or less. The Hang Snatches are on the heavy side and can be broken up into three or maybe even four sets as long as these rests are controlled. If you are not done their first round (63 sit-ups & 21 Hang Power Snatches) by the four minute mark, reduce the load or reduce some reps on the Snatches.

Workout Brief

GOAL: Clean & Jerk Complex / Post Chain Endurance

This week’s Clean & Jerk session has us working on a complex to help improve our endurance in the clean in order to complete a strong Jerk: the GOAL is to create fatigue in the post chain, legs & core to make the jerk at this % harder. The workout is a moderate volume posterior chain triplet that will have the heart rate up high quick and stay high long. These are all “lower skill” movements; try to hit the Deadlift unbroken throughout the workout and a few rounds unbroken on the Pull Ups.

Workout Brief

GOAL: Team Workout

This team workout will be the teams against the clock. We’ve got three parts to this workout with very little rest between so overall, but we can manage our efforts within each section. The first couplet should be low and slow, the second one we have more rest so we can push the pace on our segments in the run or machines. The third couplet has less range of motion so we can look to finish strong here as long as technique is good.
