In part 1, This is the seventh week of our 8-week PowerBuilding Cycle. This cycle incorporates ten lifts and alternates between hypertrophy-focused (higher rep) and absolute strength-focused (lower rep) weeks, ensuring balanced development. In part 2, This workout brings a fast-moving blend of explosive power and stamina. Start with smooth, steady box jumps to keep your heart rate in check, and dial in your mechanics to help mitigate fatigue during the barbell.
Score: Time
Target Score: 8-15 Minutes
Target Loading: Moderate
Stimulus: VO2 Max [RPE 7-8]
Box Jumps: Around 2:00-1:30-1:00-0:30. Must reach full lockout/extension of the hips/knees at the top of the box. Step down off the top of the box - no rebounding.
Power Cleans: Choose a barbell weight that you can complete in steady singles throughout.
Hips Lower Than Shoulders + Knees Out
Hips should stay lower than the shoulders at setup.
Maintains balance and ensures a strong pull.
Knees track over toes throughout the lift.
Prevents inward collapse and protects the knees.
Box Jumps: Focus on smooth, consistent pacing. Avoid rebounding to protect the Achilles and manage fatigue more effectively. Maintain a steady rhythm and stay relaxed to control your breathing.
Power Cleans: Break these into quick singles or small, controlled sets to maintain efficiency and avoid fatiguing early. Focus on strong positioning and a smooth bar path.
Overall: Transitions should be purposeful but efficient. Gradually build intensity as reps decrease, keeping movement quality sharp throughout.
