Set 1: 2/(1+1) @ 60%

Set 2: 2/(1+1) @ 65%

Set 3: 2/(1+1) @ 70%

Set 5: 2/(1+1) @ 75%

Set 6: 2/(1+1) @ 75%

*this is written as 2 x 1+1. We want each complex to be the Hang Power Snatch + Power Snatch, drop bar then do Hang Power Snatch + Power Snatch.

B: Metcon (AMRAP - Rounds and Reps)

AMRAP 10
10 Box Jump Overs (R+24/20, Rx20/16″)

10 Hang Squat Snatches (R+95/65, Rx 75/55)

There is a lot of ‘jump and land’ between the Box Jump Over & Hang Squat Snatch, which keep the heart rate high.

Your legs are going to go!

Athlete can shoot for 2-2:30 minute rounds.

Goal: 4-5 Rounds

BOX JUMP OVER

A very familiar movement that will elevate the heart rate considerably.

HANG SQUAT SNATCH

A jump and land in an overhead squat – from the hang! This will demand a lot of the lower back and lats.

Let’s keep a close eye on loading for this movement. It’s another sneaky one that could have some athlete breaking way more than needed for this time domain. Lighter is better here!

C: Metcon (Time)

400m Double DB Farmer’s Carry (R+60/40, Rx 50/30)

FARMER’S CARRY (DB’s or KB’s)

The Farmer’s Carry is a phenomenal tool for grip strength, which is what we need if we want to pick things up.

After the workout, allow athletes a few minutes to recover, then start the 400m Farmer’s Carry together.

Expect this to take between 3:30-4:30. 5min time Cap

Athletes will use two DB’s and can walk, jog, or run.

MODIFICATIONS

CALS

Reduce Calories (Aiming for just over 2 minutes of work)

POWER CLEAN/SQUAT CLEAN

Decrease Load

FRONT SQUAT

Decrease Load

Squat to a Target

We will work through 2:00 on/work, 1:00 off/rest, until we finish the workout or reach 24:00 (cap).

The goal is to finish each element in 2:00 or under (i.e., 30/24 cals = under 2:00 / 30 Power Cleans = under 2:00).

If each movement is finished in under 2:00, this will be a ~17:00 workout. If not, we could be going for a lot longer. Therefore, we will cap the workout at 8 Rounds of 2:00 on / 1:00 off (or more simply put, 24:00). Scale to fit the work required within the 2-minute window or as close as possible.

30 reps of a moderately light barbell is challenging. Choose the load wisely.

CALS

This will hurt a little! in under 2:00 is not easy, especially for smaller athletes.

Scale the number of calories to ensure you are close to 2:00 and not completely exhausted. One minute of rest is not that long.

POWER CLEAN

Athletes should be able to perform 10-15 consecutive repetitions of the chosen load. These reps should look very pretty aka mechanically sound.

Singles are permitted but the loading should not be so heavy that an athlete has to perform singles from the beginning.

FRONT SQUAT

We are looking at 1 to 3 sets for the Front Squat.

The loading should make you want to rest around rep 15, but you may hang on for a few more reps.

We suggest athletes can perform at least 10 strong repetitions of the chosen load.

SQUAT CLEANS

We may go to singles for the Squat Clean, but still have the ability to perform sets of 5 across the 30 repetitions.

A: Warm-up (No Measure)

3 Sets for Quality
:20-30s Ring Support (external rotation)

:20-30s Dead hang Hold from pull up bar

:20-30s Superman Hold

B: Metcon (Weight)

3 Rounds Build to a moderate weight
5 Kneeling Single DB Strict Presses (each side)

In today’s variation of the press we are using the 1/2 Kneeling technique, making this a much more complex movement adding in Core Strength as well. Select an appropriate load and adopt a half-kneeling position on the floor. Your right knee should be down, and your left knee up. Hold a DB in your right hand in front of your shoulder with your palm facing you. Keeping your torso upright, press the weight straight above your shoulder as you rotate your palm and forearm outward.

Slowly lower back to the starting position. That’s 1 rep. 5 reps each arm.

C: Metcon (Time)

27-21-15-9:

Chest to Bar Pull-ups

Push Jerks (R+135/95, Rx 115/75)

Run 400m

This workout has a beautiful combination of movements – pull, push, run. Lots of opportunity for a high heart rate too.

Another longer time domain – 16-22 minutes. Time Cap 22min

Scoring – total time to complete the workout.

CHEST-TO-BAR PULL UPS

72 reps total.

Approach each round with the mindset that they could be completed in 3 sets (i.e., 27 = 9-9-9 or 12-9-6 and 21 = 7-7-7 or 10-6-5) . More than 3 sets is ok, but the rest period needs be short.

If you do not have at least 10 consecutive C2B Pull-Ups, decrease the repetitions to 21-15-9-6 or 15-12-9-6.

PUSH JERKS

72 reps total.

Similar to the C2B, athletes should be able to complete all rounds in ~3 sets.

Keep in mind that coming off the Pull-Ups, the load will feel heavier than it may if coming off a run.

RUN

Aim to complete the run in under 2:00.

Although not easy, consider the run as an active recovery for the work inside the gym (C2B & PJ)
