For the Coach

Workout Overview

Stimulus

Today's piece is a really fun combination that will encourage you to hold onto the barbell a little longer than you want to, while also testing how well you know your row pacing ability. The middle rounds are where we'll find out if we came out too hot or if we came out just right and can push it to the end.

Scoring

Score | Time to complete work. Add 1s per rep not completed if time capped.

Movements

Push Press | 1-2 sets for for first round, unbroken sets for following to sets of rounds.

Front Squats | 1-2 sets for for first round, unbroken sets for following to sets of rounds.

Row | 5:00 or less of work.

Strategies

The One | Teaching Focus

Grip the ground

In both our squats we want to target a  grip and twist of ground with the feet. This will create an arch in the midfoot and recruit the muscles of the posterior chain as athletes squat.

Logistics

If this weight isn't something we could hang onto for 21 reps unbroken when fresh, the bar is too heavy.

Look For

  • Push press | Look for athletes to drive with the hips before the barbell moves overhead
  • Front squat | Cue athletes to lead with the elbows out of the squat.  This will help them keep their chest up.
  • Row | Athletes should keep their stroke rate between 24-28, big sets of rowing between our barbell we dont want to exhaust ourselves.
