Athletes will start on a delay and everyone will begin on the Deadlifts and make their way through the EMOM for 20:00 minutes or 5 rounds each. Score is total combined reps of all partners.
Goal: 12-18 Reps on Deadlifts and Bench Press/ Set, 15-25 Wall Balls on Each Set

RPE: 8/10 * Keep this more to an 8/10 as this one could easily escalate to a 10/10 if you really push the reps and intensity here. We are looking for more controlled intensity rather than all out here.

Specific Barbell Loading

)

% of Back Squat

Look to complete the lift @ 20x1 Tempo

We are looking for the same wave loading volume style we hit from Front Squats on Week 1 of the cycle, and now the expectation is just by the nature of the movement loading will be heavier today.

Scaling Modifications:

Box Squats or Split Squats depending on the issue. If it's the lower back, the split squat is best, if it's the knees, the box squat will be the best alternative today.

Goal: Technique Proficiency, building to around 80-85% of Power Clean

Stimulus: Speed Strength, Technical Proficiency

Cues:

Stay over the bar, root through the feet and keep pushing through extension in the pull.

Look for a rapid turnover with fast elbows and fast feet.

Modifications:

For athletes with movement limitations look to tackle this complex with dumbbells and increase the volume slightly so they still get a stimulus.
