For the Coach

Resource Drive

Workout Overview

Stimulus

Teams of three today, only one partner works at a time but teams can split the work however they would like.  Look for athletes to choose loads that will allow them to move with quality throughout all their reps. 

Scoring

Score | Time 

Movements

Target Score | 25-35 Minutes 

Stimulus | VO2 Max [RPE 8-9]

Bike | About 10:00

Power Snatch | Choose weights that allow for 1-3 reps at a time on the first bar, 5-10 reps on the second bar, and sets of 10+ on the final bar.

Strategies

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

Look For

  • Bike | Encourage athletes to hold a high effort since they will be getting a 2:1 rest each round. 
  • Power Snatch | Even with a heavier load on the barbell in the starting rounds athletes should still move with quality.  Look for athletes to have an aggressive and fast turnover at the top.
