Workout Overview

Stimulus

In part 1, This is the fifth and final week of our 5-week Super Power strength cycle. This is a deload week to allow for full recovery, leaving athletes feeling fresh, strong, and primed for future strength gains.

In part 2, We're alternating between double unders and a kettlebell movement in this 12-minute AMRAP, adding 10 reps to each round as we progress. Reps will add up quickly, so don't start at too fast of a pace in the first two rounds.

Scoring

Score: Rounds + Reps

Movements

Intended Intensity: RPE 6-7

Target Loading: Light-Moderate 

Fitness Attribute Improved: Aerobic Power [Lactate Threshold]

Target Score: 4-5 Rounds 

Kettlebell Swings: Start with the kettlebell between your legs. Using your hips as the power source, swing the kettlebell overhead until it is directly over your ears, shoulders, hips, and ankles. Your arms should be straight and extended at the top of your rep. Choose a loading that allows for at least 10 unbroken reps at a time. 

Kettlebell Goblet Lunges: Hold one kettlebell at your chest in the goblet position. Step back and alternate legs every rep. Choose a loading that allows for at least 10 unbroken reps at a time. 

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.

Strategies

Transition in and out of the double unders as quickly and efficiently as possible. No need to waste time here. 

If you need a break or rest, take it just before starting your kettlebell movements or rest as needed during each of those movements.

(42- 54 minutes)

Look For

  • Double Unders: Encourage athletes to relax in their reps, giving the shoulders and grip a chance to rest while still chipping away at reps.
  • KB Swings:  Look for athletes to use their hips as the mover of the KB, athletes should drive first with the hips then swing with the arms.
  • KB Lunge:  Encourage athletes to drive through the front heel as they stand each rep.
