Workout Overview

Stimulus

In part 1, This is the second week of our 4-week Triple Threat strength cycle.  We will gradually increase weights following a structured percentage range with the goal of achieving new 3-rep maxes by the end of the cycle.

In part 2, The pace of today's workout is slower because of the challenge on the grip with the hang power cleans and toes to bar interfering with each other. The trick will be to strategically break early so you stay in control of the pace.

Scoring

Score: Rounds + Reps

Movements

Intended Intensity: RPE 5-6

Target Loading: Light-Moderate

Fitness Attribute Improved: Muscular Endurance

Target Score: 6-8 Rounds 

Hang Power Clean: Choose a weight you could complete unbroken when fresh (though that's likely not a good strategy for this workout).

The One | Teaching Focus

Quick Elbows

Elbows must rotate quickly to receive the bar in the front rack.

Prevents losing the bar and ensures control.

Strategies

Grip fatigue will set in quickly if you are not careful. Going unbroken on either movement early on will make this workout challenging.

Some athletes will be able to complete a few rounds unbroken, but the majority of athletes will want to break each movement into at least two sets from the beginning.

Look For

  • Hang Power Cleans: We want athletes to remain unbroken here, the goal is muscular endurance.  So encourage athletes to choose a load that allows them to maintain big sets and use a big hip drive. 
  • Toes To Bar:  Look for athletes to push down on the barbell with the lats as they raise their legs to the bar.
