For the Coach

Resource Drive

Workout Overview

Stimulus

This is a repeat from 6.12.2023. Athletes should aim to complete this workout at their threshold pace. Can you complete every round of overhead squats unbroken?

Scoring

Time to complete work.

Movements

Run | Completed in 2:15 or less each round.
Overhead Squat | Loading should not exceed 50% of your 1RM overhead squat. Barbell should be light enough to complete every round in less than 1:00 and in 1-2 sets.

The One | Teaching Focus

Always Pressing
Today we want to cue athletes to “always be pressing” the bar throughout the overhead squat rep. Maintaining an active shoulder by constantly pressing up into the bar will improve athlete’s stability and safety in the OHS.

Logistics

Today be sure to have clear run routes in and out of the gym. Try to make it efficient for athletes to get to their barbell and back out of the door. Take into account safety as athletes are running in and out.
