Workout Overview

Stimulus

In part 1, We are continuing our Linear Progression cycle.   Keep in mind that all our percentages are based on technical failure and not simply completion regardless of mechanics and quality.  Essentially the name of the game with this cycle is that it starts challenging and stays challenging. The challenge only increases due to fatigue, not due to increased load.   In part 2, we have a barbell cycling workout paired with running.  The key is to keep steady on the runs and move efficiently through the barbell work to finish strong. Stay controlled and consistent!

Scoring

Score | Total Time

Movements

Target Score | 9:00-13:00

Stimulus | Moderate Loading

Hang Power Cleans | Loading should allow for 2 sets or less for each round. 

Push Jerks | Loading should allow for 2 sets or less for each round. 

Run | Around 1:00

Strategies

The One | Teaching Focus

Midline Bracing

In our strict press we are trying to maintain a pause in a particular difficult point of the lift.  It can be very easy to lose tension throughout the pause and then continue the press without being stabilized.  “Tighter is lighter” is the motto, so the more braced and tight we can stay, the easier the weight will move.

Look For

  • Hang Power Cleans | Athletes should have a strong hip extension on each rep.  We want these reps to be efficient and quick. 
  • Push Jerks | We are looking for shoulder stability in our catch position today.  If athletes are moving the barbell unstable overhead we need to go down in weight. 
  • Run | Today athletes need to hit the time target on the runs, with two in each round we need to be sure we are hitting the stimulus.
