Workout Overview

Stimulus

In part 1 , this week we are back in the isometric phase. Here, the focus is on holding the lift in a typical position of struggle or weakness before completing the lift. This phase will help you overcome sticking points by strengthening the muscles needed to lift the weight in that particular position. For the front squat, we will pause right above parallel, on the way up. In part 2, This workout is all about keeping a steady pace as the reps and meters decrease. Stay strong on the cleans, keep your double unders smooth, and push through the Bike Erg. The goal is to finish within the time cap, so focus on moving consistently and efficiently!

Scoring

Score | Time to complete, add 1s for every rep not complete.

Movements

Hang Power Clean | Challenging moderate weight that we can cycle unbroken.

Double Unders | 1:40-1:10-1:00-0:40-0:20 Respectively.

Bike | Shooting for 2:00 for the 1k, then slightly decreasing time each round.

Strategies

The One | Teaching Focus

Midline Stability in Front Squats

In today’s session, we will concentrate on maintaining midline stability during the front squat. This focus ensures that the core is engaged and the spine remains neutral throughout the movement, which is crucial for supporting the weight and preventing injury. Proper midline stability helps distribute the force evenly through the lower body and aids in maintaining balance and proper posture, which are key for an effective front squat.

Logistics

Sharing machines will be difficult, but possible today. If athletes can have their own machine, flow will work best. Though, if you need to share have one group start on another movement.

Look For

Hang Power Cleans | Speed under the bar, we want our reps to be unbroken while moving a challenging weight so the faster we are under the bar the less effort we will have to give.
Double Unders | Sustainable sets, some athletes may benefit from planned sets to avoid burnout too quickly.
Bike | As our distance decreases, we should try to increase our stroke rate as we move through rounds.

MINDSET

"By nature man hates change; seldom will he quit his old home till it has actually fallen around his ears."

People often resist change until it becomes absolutely necessary; embrace change before circumstances force it upon you.
