Barbell: (Rx155/105, S 125/85)
Score = Time
Goal: 7-11 minutes
Time Cap: 13 minutes
RPE: 8/10
Stimulus: Barbell Conditioning / Aerobic Threshold
Primary Objective: Manage the barbell strategically across the 30 Hang Power Cleans. This is the make-or-break section of the workout and athletes who go unbroken too early will pay with forearm fatigue and trouble on the dubs.
Secondary Objective: Hold a strong, sustainable pace on the row without blowing up before the barbell. Row should feel like an 8/10 effort, so it's strong but not all out.

minute 1: 3-3-2-2-1-1 Weighted Strict Pull-Ups
minute 2: Unbroken Strict Press @ 55% of 1RM
*1 sec Pause Overhead on each Strict Press Rep
Weighted Pull-Ups: Start with heavy sets of 3 and add loads as the reps descend to sets of 1.
Strict Press: The weight will be taken from the floor and we are looking to tackle 50% for an unbroken set of reps in the range of 10-15 reps on each set, with the focus on volume accumulation and a challenging unbroken set that varies lightly set to set.
Goal: Consistent unbroken sets on the press each minute / Near maximal loading on the 2s and 1s for pull-ups
RPE: 7.5-8/10
Stimulus: Vertical Push / Pull Strength Endurance
Primary Objective: Protect the unbroken standard on the strict press across all 6 sets. The pause overhead is intentional and should not be rushed. Quality and volume accumulation are the priority here, not load.
Secondary Objective: Build pull-up loading with intention. Athletes should arrive at the 2s and 1s at a weight that is genuinely challenging, not simply heavy for appearance. The descending rep scheme exists to allow loading to climb safely.
