FOR THE COACH
Stimulus
- Workout brief: https://youtu.be/TquxMsZxaho
- Resource Links: CompTrain Gym Resource Drive
- Today’s workout is a unique and fun Interval style of 2:00 on and 1:00 off. With this kind of workout the stimulus is high-output and a hard work rate since we have the rest built in. This is a “chipper” style interval workout. Athletes will remain at the station for however long it takes them to complete the assigned work. Athletes should be able to get at least 1k/900m on the bike, 500/450m on the row, and 20 snatches within the working intervals in order to finish. The time cap of 38:00 allows of a total of 13 intervals.
- Bike | 1km/900m per 2:00
- Row | 500m/450m per 2:00
- Snatch | Light to moderate. 20 per 2:00
The One | Teaching Focus
- For both the rower and the DB snatch we’re focused on the timing of reaching full extension of the legs and hips before recruiting the arms in the pull. On the rower athletes should finish the drive with the legs, open the hips, and then pull the handle. In the DB snatch athletes should reach full extension of the knees and hips before pulling the DB overhead. Cue "Hips First, Then Pull", "Extend Before You Bend", "Jump and Shrug”, "Drive Through Your Heels", "Float the Dumbbell”.

Logistics
- For today’s workout you’ll want to allow athletes to fill up each station based on the number of bikes and rowers you have access to. Since the timeframes for each should be very similar, athletes should be able to transition from station to station without having to wait on any equipment. It would be beneficial to leave 1-2 machines open per station to accommodate athletes that may finish ahead or behind the group.
- If athletes complete a station within the 2:00 working interval they can move on to the next station within that same window of work.

Mindset
“You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do”. - C.G. Jung
With the advent of social media and reddit forums, talk is cheap. Sitting in the comfort of a chair, at home, many will talk. Few however, will actually do.
Spending our breath on words is wasted effort, and is always better spent on action. The only measurable difference between the armchair quarterback, and the actual quarterback.
“I can’t hear what you’re saying, because your actions speak so loudly.”
When was the last time you said you were going to do something, but didn’t actually follow through? What stopped you from taking action?
