Workout Overview

Stimulus

In part 1, This is the sixth 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, Start each minute with 3 power snatches and use the rest of the minute to accumulate as many bar-facing burpees as you can. Pick a barbell weight that takes no more than 30 seconds to complete, giving you at least 30 seconds each minute for bar-facing burpees.

Scoring

Score: Total Bar-Facing Burpees

Movements

Target Score: 50-100 Reps 

Stimulus: Moderate Loading

Power Snatches: No more than 0:30 to complete 3 reps. 

Bar-Facing Burpees: A two-foot take-off is not required, but you are required to jump over the bar (rather than step over). Both feet should be in the air at the same time.

The One | Teaching Focus

Elbows beat the feet

Cue athletes to punch hard and fast after fully extending the hips and legs. This will encourage athletes to land with their elbows already locked out and in an active overhead position.

Strategies

Work at a sustainable pace, right at your lactate threshold. This is a great way to improve your threshold. 

Your pace should look similar throughout the whole workout. Start your burpee pace at what feels like an RPE 6. By the end, it may feel like an RPE 8 just to maintain the same pace.

Look For

  • Power Snatches: Look for our teaching focus, athlete's elbows should beat their feet.  We want athletes to catch with locked out arms, and a steady overhead position.
  • Bar Facing Burpees:  Encourage athletes to be quick off the floor, we want athletes to stay moving steadily.
