Then, build to 65% for working sets

Deadlift (Every 2:30 x 5 Sets
4 Deadlifts @ 65% of 1RM)

+ 2/2 Single Leg Broad Jump to 2 Foot Landing between sets of Deadlift

% is Based on 1RM Deadlift

Perform each jump to maximum distance with a firm stick on the landing. These are touch and go deadlifts.

Record Working Weight

Stimulus: Absolute Strength + Speed Strength and Power Development (Unilateral Stability)

Cues:

Focus to push the ground away on the deadlift and have the hips and shoulders rise at the same rate.

Single Leg Broad Jumps really work to drive the other leg back and the whip forward and through to create momentum into the jump, then stick the landing with both feet to work on better stability and power.

Modifications:

Move to Hex Bar Deadlift or Sumo Deadlift as the primary mods for Deadlift today.

Just do a traditional Broad Jump today for 3 reps rather than single leg for 2/2

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.
