Workout Overview

Stimulus

In part 1, This is the third week of our 4-week Heavy Doubles strength cycle. This cycle is designed to help build maximum strength by focusing on lifting near-maximal weights for two repetitions. We’ll progress from more sets with shorter rest at lower percentages to fewer sets with longer rest at higher percentages. In part 2, We're aiming to move continuously during this bodyweight workout. Choose reps/variations that allow rounds to take between 1:00-1:45 to complete, giving you at least 9 rounds in this workout.

Scoring

Intended Intensity: RPE 6-7

Movements

Target Score: 9-14 Rounds

Rope Climb: 0:20 or less to complete the climb, athletes should try to use as few pulls as possible.

Hand Release Push-Ups: 2 sets or less, be sure athletes are moving the body as a unit (no sagging or worming).

Sit-Ups: 0:30 or less.

The One | Teaching Focus

Avoiding Excessive Arching or Leaning Back

Check that athletes maintain a straight body position without excessive arching or leaning back. This ensures proper engagement of the targeted muscles.

Strategies

We don't want any failed rope climbs! Only attempt a rope climb when you're confident you can complete it.

A natural flow for this workout is to work aggressively through the rope climb to complete it as quickly as you can. Work steadily at the hand-release push-ups. Then slow your pace down on the last five reps of sit-ups to set yourself up to go right into another aggressive approach to the rope climbs.

15:00 Minutes to allow athletes to warm up to their first set, then complete their 4 sets of 2.
Warm-Up Sets can look like:
5 @ 50% - 5 @ 60% - 3 @ 70 %
All 5 sets should be completed within 80%-90%, if athletes feel up to building within the range they can. Those that feel it's already too heavy or struggling with form, encourage them to stay at the same weight across the sets.

‍Look For‍

Rope Climb: Athletes should tuck the knee as high as possible to complete the comb in as few pulls as possible.
Hand Release Push-Ups: We want the body to move as one through these reps today. Encourage athletes to lift the legs off the floor before pressing to lockout position.
Sit-Ups: Athletes should move with full range of motion in these reps. Shoulder blades touch the ground and shoulders pass the hips at the top.
