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, This workout is a descending ladder of power cleans and hand release push-ups, testing your strength and stamina. The power cleans will challenge your grip and explosiveness, while the push-ups will fatigue your chest and shoulders. Be smart about pacing—break up the push-ups early to avoid burnout and keep moving efficiently. Focus on maintaining good form on both movements to stay consistent and finish strong!

Scoring

Score | Time to complete work.

Movements

Power Cleans | Round of 21 in 2:00 or less, if athletes hit that stimulus they should be on target for the remainder of the workout. 

Hand Release Push Ups | Round of 42 in 2:00 or less, if athletes hit that stimulus they should be on target for the remainder of the workout.

Strategies

The One | Teaching Focus

Push the earth away

In the deadlift, push, don't Pull. Remind athletes that the deadlift is a push movement with the legs, not a pulling movement with the back.

The arms and back provide support, but the primary force comes from the legs.

Cue athletes to drive their heels into the ground.

Modifications

POWER CLEANS

Reduce Loading/Reps 
Sub Hang Power Cleans 
Sub Dumbbell/Kettlebell Hang Power Cleans

Logistics

Look For

  • Power Clean | Look for speed under the bar, we want to see athletes move quick as they pull under the bar and punch with fast elbows.
  • Hand Release Push Ups | Look for full range of motion.  Athletes will have a tendency to rest on the floor, so be sure they are still locking out at the top of each rep.

MINDSET

Sue Patton Thoele - "Deep listening is miraculous for both listener and speaker. When someone receives us with open-hearted, non-judging, intensely interested listening, our spirits expand."

Listening deeply and without judgment can profoundly impact both the speaker and the listener, fostering connection and understanding.
