For the Coach

Resource Drive

Workout Overview

Stimulus

Big intervals with big rest today, even with a heavier dumbbell at the end we are aiming to hold hard efforts. The key here is going to come down to how good we are at keeping our breathing in a place that lets us keep working at around 80-90%.

Scoring

Score | Total Time (Including Rest)

Movements

Double unders |  should take 90 seconds or less to complete. 

AbMat Sit-Ups | 2:00 or less

Row | 2:00 or less

DB Hang Snatch | unbroken on each arm

Strategies

The One | Teaching Focus

Stroke Rate (SPM):

Consider the appropriate stroke rate for the training or racing goal. It's almost always the case that we should "row slow to row fast." More power per pull with a SPM of 24-28 is likely the sweet spot. Adjustments may be needed based on the workout objectives.

Ensure athletes are capable of maintaining a consistent stroke rate without sacrificing form.

Logistics

If your class has more people than rowers, consider starting a second group 3:00 behind the first group. 

If we are less confident on the dumbbell snatch while under fatigue and breathing heavy, we will want to aim for specific paces on the first movements that we can maintain, but that let us keep our breathing in a place that allows picking up the dumbbell quicker.

Look For

  • Double Under | Look for athletes to keep elbows close to the body, even as they get tired. 
  • Toes to bar | Look for the press down on the bar so that athletes are engaging the lats as they bring the legs up.
  • Row | Encourage athletes to have a lower stroke rate today.  As there are a lot of moving parts in this, so keeping the stroke rate low will allow them to breathe.
  • Hang Snatch | Look for a strong hip extension before they are pulling the DB overhead.
