Workout Overview

Stimulus

Part 1, This week we start the final phase of our tempo strength cycle. The third is the concentric block, in which the lifter performs the rep with as much force and speed as possible. Part 2, We've got a fun chipper to kick off this week's fitness! A little reminiscent of 'Jackie' and sure to light the lungs up early with the run to start it off. While the run is mostly about just getting it done, try to do it with some intention knowing that you've got a big gymnastics set and moderate barbell to follow. Being smart to start may dictate how well we finish.

Scoring

Score | Time to complete work. Add 1s per rep if we are time capped.

Movements

Run | About 5:00 today

Pull-ups | About 5:00 or less of work

Power Cleans | Moderate weight bar today, meant to be completed in steady singles or small cycled sets.

The One | Teaching Focus

Cylinder of strength

For today’s strict press we want to teach our athletes how to maintain a “cylinder of strength” throughout the strict press movement. By gripping the ground, squeezing the butt, squeezing the legs, and squeezing the abs the athletes will be in a strong and rigid position to execute the lift.

Look For

Run | relaxed arms, we want to keep the upper body relaxed so that the arms are fresh when we get to the pull ups.
Pull Ups | Smart sets in the beginning are really important here. With it being one big set, it's easy to get ahead of ourselves and come out too hot. So be sure athletes are setting themselves up for success.
Power cleans | athletes are looking to have a moderately challenging load today. Quick singles are the goal, so if athletes are going big sets the load is too light or if they are taking a lot of rest the load is too heavy. Be sure they have chosen the weight to fit the stimulus.
