For Reps

5 Sets:

2:00 AMRAP

Max Clean and Jerk

Rest 2:00 b/t sets

Set 1: (Rx135/95, S 115/75)

Set 2: (Rx150/105, S 125/85)

Set 3: (Rx 165/115, S 135/95)

Set 4: (Rx 180/125, S 145/105)

Set 5: (Rx 200/140, S 160/120)
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.

RPE: 9/10, Benchmark Test

Stimulus: Gymnastics Capacity / Barbell Cycling Under Fatigue

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)

20:00 EMOM

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

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.

8 Medball Squats

8 Medball Presses

8 Medball Walking Lunges

5 Wall Balls

Specific Prep

Walk through all four hold standards with partners before loading begins:

Ring Row to Chest Hold — body at 45 degrees or closer to parallel

Wall Sit — full 90 degree hip and knee position, no resting on the thighs

Dead Hang — full arm extension, active shoulders

Wall Supported Handstand Hold — locked out arms, tight midline, heels on the wall

Specific Primer

Then 2 x through with a partner

250m Row / Partner holds Ring Row to Chest Position

8 Wall Balls / Partner holds Wall Sit

6 Ring Rows / Partner holds Dead Hang

10 Medball Walking Lunges / Partner holds Wall Supported Handstand Hold

Use this to confirm all four hold standards, establish partner switching rhythm, and lock in medball load and ring row height before the clock starts on "Whale Shark."

"Whale Shark" (Time)

For Time: With Partner

1000m Row

100 Wall Balls

100 Ring Rows

100 Medball Walking Lunges

Medball: (Rx 20/14, S 16/12)

Wall Ball Target: 10/9ft

Ring Row Position: Body Parallel or as close to parallel on the floor directly underneath the bar.

Hold Format: One Partner Works, One Partner Holds:

Row → Non-rowing partner holds Ring Row to Chest (Position is at 45 degree angle to floor or closer to parallel)

Wall Balls → Non-working partner holds Wall Sit

Ring Rows → Non-working partner holds Dead Hang

Medball Walking Lunges → Non-working partner holds Wall Supported Handstand Hold

*The hold must be maintained whenever a rep is in progress. If the hold breaks, the working partner stops until the hold is re-established.
Goal: 24:00 – 30:00 | Time Cap: 35:00

Stimulus: Aerobic Capacity / Muscular Endurance / Partner Conditioning and Holds

RPE: 7-8/10

Primary Objective: Manage the hold mechanic consistently across the full workout. The hold is what drives output, if the hold breaks, the work stops. Communicate early before the hold fails rather than grinding to failure and losing time on a reset.

Secondary Objective: Keep big sets on the movements in order to reduce transition time as the transition to the holds eats a lot of time.
