FOR THE COACH

Stimulus 

• Workout brief: https://youtu.be/FEchTJU0tFg
• Resource Links: CompTrain Gym Resource Drive
• We’re finishing out our push jerk cycle with an opportunity to hit a PR or get more reps in at a near maximal load. In part 2, we want a moderate weight barbell (Grace weight) that you'll likely do singles on. We should be able to get at least 10 reps per minute with this loading.
• Clean and jerk: Moderate. Singles 
• Box Jumps: 2:00 / :90 / :60

‍

The One | Teaching Focus 

Jerk 

• Since we’re testing our 1 rep today and performing jerks in our workout we’ll focus on simple and immediately actionable teaching points that will improve our athletes performance. Focus on the timing of the legs and hips finishing the drive and then speed under the bar in the press. 

‍

Through Line 

• Cycle time 

• In the clean and jerk, whether you’re doing singles or cluster sets it’s important to manage your cycle time intentionally. Step back from the bar, step up to the bar, pick it up. 
• In the box jump, be intentional about the cycle time of your reps. When you land, step back, step up, and jump. 

‍

Modifications

Clean and jerk 

• Reduce load
• Reduce volume 
• Hang variation 
• Sub DBs

Box jumps 

• Reduce height 
• Reduce volume 
• Step ups 

‍

Logistics

• In part 1, give athletes plenty of time to build to their starting weight today. If the athlete looks and feels good they should attempt a new PR. Celebrate athletes' improvements in mechanics / form and celebrate new PRs. 
• In part 2, athletes can be paired up if you’re short on boxes or bars. You can start one athlete on the box and one on the barbell.

Mindset 

“Roses that are left unpruned can become a tangled mess of old and new canes, all competing for air and light.” - Elizabeth Roth

‍

As the rose bush grows, it creates more buds that it can maintain. It doesn’t grow like a tree, as its physical size is limited, but the buds keep on coming. And if we don’t trim the buds down… the whole bush can exhaust itself and die.

Ideas are like rose buds. They constantly need to be “pruned” or trimmed. If we don’t trim our ideas, just like the rose bush, we can overwhelm ourselves.

‍

Growth ideas are natural and it’s completely normal (and a very good thing) for new ones to come on a daily basis. But if we want to reach our full potential, it will require pruning, trimming, and a critical look at what needs to stay… and what needs to go.
