Kettlebell: (Rx53/35, S 44/26)

Shuttle Run: 25/25ft
Goal Time Domain: 9-12 minutes

Time Cap: 15 minutes

Primary Objective: Manage the pull-up volume on both ends of the workout. The buy-in and cash-out together total 60 pull-ups. Athletes who blow out their grip early will pay on the descending ladder with the grip fatigue on the kettlebell swings and then again on the cash-out.

Secondary Objective: Keep the kettlebell swings moving. The volume decreases every round, use that as fuel to push the pace a little faster and pick-up cycle rate.

Stimulus: Grip Endurance / High Intensity Triplet

Suggested %

Set 1: 50%

Set 2: 60%

Set 3: 70%

Set 4: 75%

Set 5: 80%

Goal: 28-36 Total Clean and Jerks (i.e. 10-8-6-6-4)

Primary Objective: Get through the Toes to Bar efficiently and consistently across all 5 sets to maximize time on the barbell. The T2B is a buy-in to the barbell and the total volume here of 90 Toes to Bar over the course of this workout for our Level 3 athletes will be substantial. Those in the level 2,1,masters side, there are still 75 reps of a midline component here that will need to be managed effectively here with the goal of getting to the barbel with at least 45 seconds on each set.

Secondary Objective: Accumulate as many Clean and Jerks as possible in the remaining time, particularly in Sets 1-3 where the load is manageable. Sets 4 and 5 will naturally yield fewer reps, that is expected and by design. The goal is to hit quick singles throughout with the expectation of around 10 reps down to 2 reps in the final window.

Goal: 3:30-4:15/set (21:00-25:30 total)

Primary Objective: Maintain consistent splits across all six sets. The last set should look like the first set, that is the standard we are looking to keep.

Secondary Objective: Learn your machines. This workout is as much about pacing intelligence as it is fitness. Athletes should leave knowing their threshold Cal/Hr on the Row, their RPM range on the Echo Bike, and their 400m split at threshold effort. That data has value beyond today.

Snatch + Low Hang Snatch + Hang Snatch

3 Back Squats

2 Seated Box Jumps to High Box

Rest 1:00 b/t sets

Start at 40-50% for both the Snatch and the Back Squat and increase loads to 70% over 4 Sets

"Venom" (2 Rounds for weight)

Minute 1: Snatch + Low Hang Snatch + Hang Snatch

Minute 2: 5-5-4-3-3 Back Squat

Minute 3: 3 Seated High Box Jumps

Minute 4: Rest

-Snatch Complex:

Starting @ 70% of 1RM Snatch and Building to a Heavy for the Day

- Back Squat

Starting @ 70% for the first set of 5 and increase loads every set in the range of 5-10% every set and ending at a heavy 3 for the day. The goal here would be to end knowing you had another 10lb in the tank and ended on a quality rep. Think Heavy 3 rep @ 9/10 RPE.

- Seated High Box Jump: Choice on Height. Goal is to get to a high box, but safely.
Score = Record heavy load of Snatch Complex and Back Squat (other weights and box height in notes)

Goal: Technical Heavies on the Snatch Complex and Back Squat triple for the Day

Stimulus: French Contrast Style Workout / Absolute Strength + Speed Strength + Plyo

RPE: 6/10

Primary Objective: Build to a heavy snatch complex and a heavy 3-rep back squat for the day. Both should represent a true strength ceiling for today, not looking for an all-time PR attempt, but the best load you can move with quality.

Secondary Objective: Maintain technical consistency in the snatch across all three positions as the load climbs. The low hang and hang positions should reinforce hip contact, vertical bar path, and full extension. They should start to be moving more towards squat snatches as the load increases.

[Venom: Level 2, Level 1, & Masters 55+] (2 Rounds for weight)

Level 2:

- Power Snatch + Low Hang Power Snatch + Hang Power Snatch (power receiving throughout)

- Back Squat 5-5-4-3-3 - cap top end at 80% of 1RM, prioritize mechanics over load

- 3 Seated Box Jumps - moderate height, clean landing over max height

---

Level 1:

- 3 Hang Power Snatches (moderate, sustainable load, quality technique)

- Back Squat 5 reps per set at light-to-moderate load OR 8 Goblet Squats

- 3-5 Standing Box Jumps to low box , safe, building confidence

---

Masters 55+:

- Power Snatch + Low Hang Power Snatch + Hang Power Snatch (power receiving)

- Back Squat 5-5-4-3-3 - conservative progression, prioritize depth and joint comfort over top-end load

- 3 Seated or standing Box Jumps - lower box height, controlled landing, seated component not required

:20 Extended Plank Reverse Bridge

:30 Glute Bridge Hold



2 Sets:

8 No-Jump Burpees

5 Pike Push-Ups

5 Dumbbell Hang Power Cleans

4 Alt Box Step-Ups + 4 Box Jumps (Step-Down)

Specific Prep

2 Sets: Building to working loads

5 Dual Dumbbell Hang Muscle Cleans

5 Dual Dumbbell Power Cleans

3 Burpee Box Jump Overs at working height

5 Push-Ups



Confirm dumbbell load, box height, and push-up standard before the primer begins.

Specific Primer / Before Starting

2 Controlled Sets: At working loads

5 Push-Ups

3 Burpee Box Jump Overs

5 Dual Dumbbell Power Cleans



Rest 1:30 between sets

Use this to dial in the dumbbell turnover and front rack catch, burpee box jump over rhythm, and push-up tension before the clock starts on "Great White." Athletes should leave the primer feeling sharp and ready — not pre-fatigued going into a 20-minute grind.

"Great White" (AMRAP - Rounds and Reps)

20:00 AMRAP

10 Push-Ups

5 Burpee Box Jump Overs

10 Dual Dumbbell Power Cleans

Box Height: (Rx24/20, S 20/16″)

Dumbbells: 2 x (Rx50/35, S 40/25)
Goal: 8-12 Rounds

Stimulus: Muscular Endurance / Murph Prep (Push-Up + Burpee sequence for volume)

RPE: 7.5/10

Primary Objective: Manage the push-ups across the full 20 minutes. Break them from round one, small consistent sets now will outlast unbroken sets that collapse by minute 10. This is Murph prep. Learn to pace the push-up. Think quick sets of 5, as that will be 5+5 + 5 Burpee Box Jumps and that volume builds fast.

Secondary Objective: Keep a steady, honest effort across all three movements. This is a Sunday workout at the end of a full training week. Controlled and consistent beats aggressive and blown up by minute 12.
