FOR THE COACH
Stimulus
- Workout brief: https://youtu.be/gZpxXLj1g0Y
- Resource Links: CompTrain Gym Resource Drive
- We've got a spicy little leg and lung burner today. Don't be fooled by the descending reps on the front squats, the meat of this workout is in the run and double unders which remain the same for all 3 rounds. Can you pace the first 2 rounds smart enough that you can kick it up a notch in round 3? Athletes that are not confident in big sets of double unders should pick sets that they can hit repeatedly under fatigue in order to complete the sets in 2:00 or less each round.
- Score | Time to complete work
- Front Squats | 1-2 sets
- Run | 3:30 or less
- Double Unders | 2:30 or less
The One | Teaching Focus
Lead with the elbows
- Today’s teaching focus will target the rack positon on the front squat. By cueing athletes to keep their elbows high it will result in an overall safer and more efficient squatting positon. Their torso will be more upright and their barbell will remain more over their center of mass.

Workout (30 Minutes) (27-57)
Look For
- Double Under | Good positioning. Athletes hands should be down and slightly in front of them. Cue athletes to spin quick with the wrists. Cue athletes to jump straight up and keep from tucking or piking their feet.
- Front Squat | High elbows. Cue athletes to “lift their elbows” throughout the rep. Cue athletes to “keep the elbows away from your knees.” Cue athletes to squeeze their stomach to keep their midline engaged.

Mindset
“Let character be your loudest statement.”
The chef puts on an apron.
The accountant brings a suitcase.
The football player wears shoulder pads and a helmet.
These are all identifiables that may come to mind when thinking of those individuals.
What are yours?
Are they materials, or is it something else?
Let character be what defines you.
Humble, Hungry, Unshakeable.
