10 Bird Dog From Crawling

6 Inchworm Push-Ups

10 Down Dog Toe Touches

Partner Rowing Golf (Time)

1000m Row, For Time

Alternate Partners @ every 100m. Athlete 1 will be rowing until 100m, then athlete 2 rows until 200m and so on for the duration of 1000m. There is a catch however. At the 100m mark, if the rower rolls to 102 then both athletes must do 2 burpees prior to switching back on the rower. Then athlete 2 will row and stop rowing somewhere around 15-20m shy of the 200m mark. If the rower then rolls to 197m, both partners will again need to do 3 burpees. Now athlete 1 will get on the rower and row to the 300m mark. If they hit the mark dead on, no burpees need to be done and partners can again switch and go to the next 100m mark. This will continue for the duration of the workout until you reach 1000m. And yes if you are over or under at 1000m the workout will finish with burpees.

*These are ideally all performed as a squat snatch. )

-

Looking to start at 60% and keep the majority of the sets between 65-75%

Do not exceed 80% today

Stimulus: Technique / Speed Strength and Power

Cues:

For the high hang, really work on a vertical dip and drive through the bar with a strong finish. We will be looking to accelerate up and through the bar with a quick turnover into the catch. This is the limiter of the complex and will dictate the load for the rest of the lifts.

For the hang snatch, focus on staying over the bar at the knee and loading the hamstrings before coming back to the hip and through extension.

Put it together from the floor with a strong drive through the floor, acceleration past the knee, and violent vertical extension through the hip.

Modifications:

We can look to keep this as a 3 pos power snatch + overhead squat to work on dynamic positions without catching dynamically in the Overhead Squat.

*After Each Set Complete 3 Broad Jumps for Distance)

Goal: Quality positions and good speed out of the hole in every squat.

Stimulus: Absolute Strength Development

Cues:

Root through the feet, push up through the elbows and flex the belly. For the paused squat, make sure to keep tension in the hole and work to press out of the bottom without a rebound to get back up. On the regular front squats we are looking for quality speed and positions.

Modifications:

We can look to move to a Back Squat if mobility is an issue, or move to goblet squats for those just learning the mechanics of the squat while also reinforcing similar bracing positions.
