Power Snatch (Weightlifting Variable Reps & Sets)
Score = Sum Total Load across all four sets. Athletes take each single from the floor with a deliberate reset between reps. The goal is to maintain technical consistency and build load across sets while staying within the 70-80% range. Each rep should reflect the same bar path, hip extension timing, and catch position as the one before it.
Modifications:
Level 1: Every 3:00 x 4 Sets: 5 Hang Power Snatch at moderate loads, 7 RPE
Hotel Gym / Travel: Every 3:00 x 4 Sets: 5/5 Single Arm Dumbbell Power Snatch or 1.1.1.1.1 Dumbbell Power Snatch at challenging load

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.

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

Score = Completed Rounds + Stations (If all rounds are completed, score is 16 reps)

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.

For Quality:
4 Sets:
8-10 Seated Good Mornings
