For the Coach

Resource Drive

Workout Overview

Stimulus

One partner works a time on all movements except double unders. Complete double unders with your own rope at the same time. The first teammate to complete the jump rope can advance to the barbell. Choose weights that allow for 1-5 reps a time for clean & jerks and snatches and 5-10 reps at a time on thrusters. Teams should have at least 2 minutes for the thrusters at the end of the workout.

Scoring

Score: Total Thrusters

Movements

Target Score: 60-180 Reps 

Stimulus: Moderate Loading 

Bike: 3:00-4:30-6:00

Double Unders: 1:00-1:30-2:00

Barbell: 4:00-6:00-2:00 for thrusters

The One | Teaching Focus

Float the Bar

We're focusing on timing of reaching full extension of the hips and legs before recruiting the arms to pull. The lower body "push" phase of the movement is where athletes will generate maximum power. This power is only effectively transferred if athletes are patient in recruiting the arms for the pull or press until after the lower body push phase is completed. If executed correctly, the bar should "float" in space for a moment. In that moment, the athlete then moves into the pull or press phase.

Look For

  • Bike: Encourage teams to hold a hard effort each time they get on the bike.
  • Double Unders: Relaxed shoulders are key today, we don't want to be tired out before getting to the bar. 
  • Barbell Movements: Look for efficiency in all movements.  Athletes should move safely and smoothly through all their movements.

MINDSET

Alan Cohen 

"Appreciation is the highest form of prayer, for it acknowledges the presence of good wherever you shine the light of your thankful thoughts."

Gratitude is a powerful force that acknowledges and amplifies the good in your life.
