Workout Overview

Stimulus

In part 1, In Part 1, we are starting our 4 week 10-rep cycle.  In this first week we are completing our “primer” week to explore and establish a load for the following week.  In part 2, This workout is a race against the clock and your capacity. Every 2 minutes, you’ll need to knock out 20 box jumps before moving on to as many power snatches as possible in the remaining time. The goal is to accumulate 75 power snatches as quickly as you can. The box jumps will spike your heart rate, so find a rhythm and then go straight into strong, efficient snatches. It’s all about managing your pace and staying consistent with your effort each round!

Scoring

Score | Time to complete work.

Movements

Box Jump | About 1:00 of work each round.

Power Snatches | 1:00 to complete snatches, 12-13 reps each round. 

Strategies

The One | Teaching Focus

Knees Out

Focus on driving the knees outward as you descend and rise from the squat.

This prevents knee collapse (valgus) and helps engage the glutes, ensuring proper tracking over the toes.

Look For

  • Box Jumps | Encourage athletes to jump tall, and land tall.  The purpose here is to work on our power in jumping. 
  • Power Snatches | Elbows beat the feet.  We want a fast turnover in our reps.  Look for a strong finish position, elbows and legs locked out, with the barbell over the middle fo the body.

Buddha 

"To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one's own in the midst of abundance." 

 True selflessness involves sharing and not holding onto material wealth, even when you have plenty.
