FOR THE COACH

Stimulus 
  • Workout brief: https://youtu.be/1e8R5pz4TW4
  • Resource Links:  CompTrain Gym Resource Drive
  • Today we have our final week of the current snatch cycle. If athletes' movement looks good and they feel good they should attempt a PR today. In part 2 we have a class 5 round couplet. With a shorter distance on the run we want athletes to keep their run pace high. 
  • Run | :60 or less
  • Pull ups | :60 or less

The One | Teaching Focus 
  • Elbows beat the feet
  • Because athletes are going so heavy on the snatches, the focus is that your elbows must beat your feet. Meaning when your feet hit the ground on the snatch, your elbows must be already locked out. If you land with bent elbows, and then press the bar up you have not completed a snatch. Meaning if you’re in an Olympic lifting competition, you would not get three white lights. So the focus is on the position, with locked out elbows of the snatch.

Modifications

Run 

  • Reduce distance
  • Sub Machine

Pull ups 

  • Reduce volume 
  • Band assisted 
  • Jumping w/ controlled negative 
  • Ring rows 

Logistics
  • In part 1 manage your room so that everyone can snatch safely. Manage your clock so that you can have eyes on each athlete as they lift. This is a big day for athletes as they have an opportunity to PR their snatch. Celebrate wins publicly in the class. 
  • In part 2,  if you’re short on rig space you can stagger start times and begin a second heat :60-:90 behind. Make sure everyone begins the workout with the run.

Mindset 

September 3

“Your actions speak so loudly that I can’t hear what you’re saying.”

It’s not about what we talk about, but what we tolerate.

When we think of our greatest role models, those we truly look up to in life, there’s a consistent commonality we’ll notice… their action under adversity. They achieved something great, under incredibly hard circumstances. They overcame a specific challenge in their darkest hour. And for that, we remember them.

Our identity isn’t shaped by the good times… but the challenging ones. In those moments, it’ll never be about what we say, but what we do.
