4 Sets: Building to Working Loads
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

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
500m Row
50 Wall Balls
50 Ring Rows
50 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.

Stimulus: Anaerobic Capacity / Gymnastics and Cyclical Power
RPE: 8.5-9/10
Primary Objective: Toe to Bar efficiency across all three rounds, broken sets early are faster than grip failure late. Plan to break early here in order to preserve quality sets later on in the workout.
Secondary Objective: Sprint the Echo Bike. At 12/9 calories the bike is a :30-:45 effort for most athletes. Treat it as a strong effort with a high output, short duration, and use the transition to the dumbbell to bring your breathing back down.
