For the Coach

Resource Drive

Workout Overview

Stimulus

"Yay burpees!" Said Ben... Maybe. Fun little team triplet today of cardio, gymnastics and a barbell, with a nifty cash out of bar-facing burpees. In the first part we're finding sets and rest that let us keep moving but that will save us a little bit of hip explosiveness to grind our way through this set of burpees without having to slow significantly.

Scoring

Time to complete work.

Movements

Row | About 2:00 of work.
Toes to Bar | About 1:30 of work. Up to 4 sets with consistently short rest between sets.
Power Cleans | 1:30 or less of work. Fast singles or smaller cycled sets.
Bar-facing Burpees | 5:00 or less of work. Must be perpendicular to barbell, two feet in the air at the same time to mark as Rx.

Look For

  • Row

Arm Movement. Emphasize a smooth and controlled arm movement, with the elbows bending only after the legs have fully extended. Encourage a straight chain path during the pull phase, avoiding unnecessary deviations.

  • TTB

Shoulder initiated kip. Cue athletes to squeeze the stomach and legs while pushing and pulling the rig with the arms.

  • Power Clean

Catch position. Cue butt back, feet flat, knees out, and elbows up. Cue “fast elbows”.

  • Burpees Over Bar

Footwork. Athletes should increase their efficiency by having their step out of the burpee be the step into their jump over the bar, avoiding unnecessary steps.

  • Post Workout Clean Up & Chat (52-60 Minutes)

Mindset

“Build before you have to.” - James Clear
We are creatures that respond very, very well to pressure situations.
If we are studying for a test, cramming the day before tends to nearly be “magical”. Under such external pressures, we create this urgency that drives results.

But - what if we don’t need that external pressure?
What if we can create it for ourselves, internally, for everyday use?
What a weapon that would be.Build the skill set before you need to use it.

Build the knowledge before you need to know it.
Be ahead of the game. So that when it comes, we’re playing it, and not vice versa.
Create the urgency today through a commitment to ourselves. Always an eager student.
