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.

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

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.

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)

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
