Strength: Overhead Press Complex (6 Rounds for weight)
Every 2:00 x 6 Sets:
2 Strict Press + 4 Push Press
All sets at 80% of 1RM Strict Press
Athletes should lock out completely on every rep, use a controlled and vertical dip on the push press, and maintain full midline tension through all six reps of each set. This is not a test of max effort; it is a quality pressing block at a demanding percentage.
Modifications:
Level 1: Every 2:00 x 6 Sets: 5 Strict Press, Focus on quality mechanics and bar path.
Hotel Gym / Travel: Every 2:00 x 6 Sets: 2/2 Single Arm Dumbbell Strict Press + 4/4 Single Arm Dumbbell Push Press at challenging load

Score = Rounds + Reps
Goals: 5-7 Rounds
Stimulus: Full Body Muscular Endurance and Movement
RPE: 7/10
Primary Objective: Maintain a consistent, controlled pace across all 15 minutes with smooth transitions between movements, targeting even round times from the first round to the last.
Secondary Objective: Prioritize front rack position and full lockout on the single arm kettlebell push press every rep, treating the pressing reps as a skill reinforcement of the overhead work done in the strength piece.

Weightlifting: Clean Complex (8 Rounds for weight)
Every 1:30 x 8 Sets:
1 Power Clean + 1 Low Hang Power Clean
Start around 60% of 1RM Power Clean and increase by feel, targeting approximately 80% by the final sets.
The Low Hang Power Clean is the teaching tool here. Cue athletes to establish tension in the hamstrings at the low hang position before initiating the second pull, and to maintain the same bar path and receiving position they find on the full Power Clean. These are not two separate movements; they are one cycling sequence.
Modifications:
Level 1: Every 1:30 x 8 Sets: 3 Hang Power Cleans
Hotel Gym / Travel: Every 1:30 x 8 Sets: 5 Hang Power Cleans + 3 Broad Jumps

Barbell: (Rx135/95, S 115/75)
Score = Completed Rounds + Stations (If all rounds are completed, score is 16 reps)
Goals: Complete each station in :30-:45
Stimulus: Barbell Cycling, Midline, and Leg Stamina
RPE: 6/10
Primary Objective: Complete all three working stations unbroken each round, finishing each minute with at least :15 of rest before the next movement begins.
Secondary Objective: Maintain consistent barbell cycling mechanics across all three rounds of Power Cleans, keeping touch-and-go reps smooth and controlled rather than letting fatigue degrade bar path or receiving position.
Optional Accessories (Checkmark)
For Quality:
4 Sets:
8-10 Seated Good Mornings
10-12 Banded Psoas March
:15/:15 Copenhagen Plank Side Raise
For all movements, move slow and controlled with quality tempo, focusing on the feel of the movement rather than just going through the motions.
