FOR THE COACH
Stimulus
- Workout brief: https://youtu.be/aBTRcd-LYz4
- Resource Links: CompTrain Gym Resource Drive
- In part 1 we’re in week 3 of our clean cycle. Athletes should be encouraged to continue with whatever variation they’ve chosen the prior weeks of this cycle. If they have been performing power cleans they should opt for power cleans today, same concept for squat cleans. If athletes have not been present for previous weeks then they should choose whatever allows them to lift the most weight and maximize their power output. In part 2 we have the p[ower clean version of the workout "Optimus Prime", this is a full body workout, highly cyclical, and is an extreme dose of intensity for our athletes.
- Score | Total wallballs
- Power cleans | Moderate. Unbroken.
- Wallball | 15+ reps per minute
The one | Teaching Focus
- In our power cleans we want the simple focus for our athletes to be extremely fast, aggressive elbows. You can cue them to have their elbows beat their feet when they receive their power clean.
Modifications
Wall ball
- Reduce Load /Target
- Single Dumbbell Thrusters
- Empty Barbell Thrusters
- 1.5 x Air Squats
Power Clean
- Reduce Loading/Reps
- Hang Power Cleans
- Sub DBs
Logistics
- In part 1 pair athletes up and call the lifts “on the minute” in a way that allows you to get eyes on every athlete at some point throughout the 3 sets. When seeing and correcting, scan the room for athletes static/set up position and pick one athlete to watch dynamically.
- In part 2, manage your room set up so that athletes have the most efficient and minimal transition from the barbell to their wall ball station. If you are short on bars, medballs, or wall space you can pair athletes up and start one group :30 behind the other.

Mindset
“Think like an immigrant. Act like an artisan.”
To “think like an immigrant” is to have a mindset where nothing is owed. There’s no legacy spot awaiting me. I’m not owed a job, a title bump, or a promotion. That no matter who or what I was yesterday, I’m brand new today. So I better plan to work harder than I ever have before to achieve my goals.
To “act like an artisan”, is to live a life of passion. In the middle-ages, before mass production, every pair of shoes, every saddle, tool and utensil were made by hand. All one-off productions. By a creator, called an artisan. Artisans took great pride in their work, and would carve their initials into each piece they created.
Regardless of what we’ve accomplished, nothing is owed to us. Yesterday is gone… and we’ll earn today. And in everything we do, let’s take so much care that we could proudly etch our name into the side of our work for the world to see. We are humble, we are hungry, and we are the hardest damn workers in the room.
Can you list 3 things you did yesterday that you are proud of?
