For the Coach
- Resource Links: Strength Cycles in Class
- Heavy focus on the shoulders in today’s two part workout. Between the heavy OHS and cycling the barbelL in part two, we’ll do plenty of stabilizing overhead. Part 1 should be a challenging load that our athletes consider heavy across all 5 sets of 2. In part 2 we should be cycling the barbell quickly and ramping up the pace toward a red-line effort as we get into the snatches and final set of burpees.
- :60 or less for burpees each time.
- Deadlifts: 2 sets or less. Very light load.
- OHS: 2 sets or less. Light load.
- Power Snatches: Fast singles.. Moderate load.
- . As we continue through the OHS cycle we’re looking for athletes to continue dialing in great positioning. When coaching the OHS, don’t get caught up looking at everything at once. The primary focus should be on the overhead position itself. Active shoulders and bar path is where our eyes should be today.
- In the OHS, ensure athletes are beginning their squat by sending the hips back first.
- In the deadlift, coach athletes to flex the hips first as they control the bar back to the ground in touch and go reps
- In the snatch, the hips fully extending is the cue to then pull the bar
- In the burpees, aggressively snap the hips to bring your feet in line with the hips as you come up from the ground.

- In part 1, manage the room so each station has no more than 3 athletes. Teach proper safety with the unrack and rerack. Ensure the floor around the athlete is clear when completing reps.
- In part 2, make sure your room is set up so that athletes can safely complete burpees over the bar without concern of being hit by another athlete’s barbell.

- “The only thing that is different about me, is that I'm not afraid to die on a treadmill.” - Will Smith. It’s not about the treadmill. It’s what the treadmill stands for. Will Smith is not a competitive athlete. If he runs 2, 3, 10 miles… he’s still probably going to be highly successful in his career. Probably. But that’s not why he is who he is. He’s not defined by what he’s doing, but how he is doing it. Full heart, full commitment, full effort. Wherever we go.
