Workout Overview

Stimulus

In part 1, This is the fourth and final week of our 4-week Triple Threat strength cycle. Instead of the usual powerlifts, we're focusing on three alternative compound lifts (push press, front squat, and hang power clean) to build strength, stability, and power and to keep training fresh and engaging.

In part 2, Start each AMRAP with a set number of double unders and push press before accumulating as many burpees as you can in the remaining AMRAP time. There is no rest between AMRAPs. Choose reps, weight, and variations that give you at least 1:00 on the burpees each round.

Scoring

Score: Reps

Movements

Intended Intensity: RPE 7-8

Target Loading: Light-Moderate (45-55% of 1RM Push Press)

Fitness Attributes Improved: Aerobic Power [VO2 Max] & Muscular Endurance

Target Score: 45-90 Reps

Push Press: Should be completed in no less than sets of 10 throughout.

Lateral Burpees Over Barbell: A two-foot take-off is not required, but you are required to jump over the bar (rather than step over). Both feet should be in the air at the same time.

The One | Teaching Focus

Quick Lockout Overhead

Athletes must punch the bar overhead quickly.
Ensures stability and control in the overhead position.

Strategies

This workout is broken into 3 separate AMRAPs, but let's not be tricked. This is one continuous workout. 

Perform the burpees during the 6:00 AMRAP at a pace that you would hold if we asked you to perform burpees for 10 minutes straight.

Perform the burpees during the 4:00 AMRAP at a pace that is a little faster.

The burpees of the final AMRAP should be performed at maximal effort.
