Workout Overview

Stimulus

Today's flow is a 2 part piece, but will happen on one running clock.  In the first half, Complete one rep at the start of each minute. Add weight as long as you are able to keep good form and technique.  This piece is meant to prime your body for the following conditioning piece, and help establish what weight you will use in it.  Be prepared to start your metcon two minutes after establishing your heavy single.  Begin this metcon two minutes after establishing your heavy power clean. Each round begins with a 600m run. Use the remainder of each 4-minute window to accumulate as many power cleans as possible. There is no rest between AMRAPs.

Scoring

Score: Total Power Clean Reps

Movements

Intended Intensity: RPE 6-7

Target Loading: Moderate-Heavy (70%) 

Fitness Attribute Improved: Aerobic Power [Lactate Threshold]

Target Score: 35-55 Power Clean Reps

Run: Should take 3:00 or less, giving you at least 1:00 to accumulate power cleans each round. The run does not count towards your score.

Power Clean: Barbell weight = 70% of your heaviest single in the prior EMOM. You should be able to complete these in steady singles.

The One | Teaching Focus

Powerful Extension

Fully extend hips, knees, and ankles before pulling under the bar.
Ensures maximum power transfer.

Strategies

Run at a pace that allows you to get right to the power cleans and start performing reps. 

Singles will likely be the best move for most athletes so you aren't fatiguing the body by controlling the weight back to the ground. 

If you choose to perform cluster sets (small sets of touch-and-go reps), don't perform sets so large that you have to rest for long periods of time. 

Do not work so hard on the power cleans that you are not able to get right into a run and move at a steady pace.

Logistics
