Deadlift (Take 20:00 to Establish a 1RM Deadlift)

Build systematically and deliberately. Athletes should establish their first working single around 80-85% and take calculated jumps from there. Plan for 2-3 minute breaks between singles at above the 85-90% range.

Modifications:

Level 1: Every 2:00 x 10 Sets : 3 Reps @ moderate loads across

Primer (Checkmark)

Adjust loads to working loads on the barbell.

Hang Snatch (Weightlifting Variable Reps & Sets)

We have been dialing in the hang position throughout this cycle, and today is the opportunity to express that work against a heavy single. The 1:30 interval gives athletes time to reset mentally and physically between reps.

Modifications:

Level 1: Every 1:30 x 10 Sets: 3 Hang Power Snatch, starting at a technically sound and challenging load and building by feel, with the emphasis on the hip drive and receiving position rather than the load reached

Hotel Gym / Travel: Every 1:30 x 10 Sets: 2-4/2-4 Dumbbell Hang Snatch for Load

Primer (Checkmark)

2 Sets at Working Loads:

3/3 Kettlebell Hang Snatch

5 Wall Balls

Use this to confirm kettlebell load, Double-Under rhythm, and wall ball target depth and pace before "Jackie Brown" begins.

DB: (Rx50/35, S 40/25)

Wall Ball: (Rx 20/14, S 16/12) to 10ft/9ft
Score = Sum Total Time Across All 8 Sets

Goals: 1:15-1:30 per set

Stimulus: Mixed Upper Body Interference

RPE: 8/10

Primary Objective: Complete all three movements unbroken in each set, with tight transitions between every movement to stay inside the 1:15-1:30 window.

Secondary Objective: Match or beat your set one time across all eight intervals, using pacing and transition discipline from the first set to protect output in the final three sets.

6 Barbell Cossack Squats

Then take the barbell to the rack and talk over loading, spotting, and bailing.

Back Squat (Take 15:00 to Establish a 1RM Back Squat)

Ideal jumps: 5 reps at 50%, 3 reps at 60%, 3 reps at 70%, 1 rep at 75%, then singles climbing from 80% upward to a true 1RM. Rest should increase progressively as loads increase, with 2 to 3 minutes between singles above 85%.

Modifications:

Level 1: Every 2:00 x 8 Sets: 3 Back Squats at moderate loads across, with emphasis on consistent depth and midline tension throughout the build

- For Knee and Back Pain, look to adjust to a Box Squat or a 5/5 Reps on a Reverse Split Squat (specifically for more sciatica related issues)

Primer (Checkmark)

3 Hang Muscle Cleans

3 Tall Squat Cleans (Pull Under the Bar)

3 Position Squat Cleans (High Hang + Hang + Low Hang)

Primary Objective: Complete all five complexes unbroken at 75% or above of 1RM Clean, with no missed lifts across the entire workout.

Accessories (Checkmark)
