Workout Overview

Stimulus

In part 1, we’re back with our second time through Power Clean. Athletes should be targeting 6-12 reps at #10 heavier than the load they used the first time we performed power cleans during this cycle. If athletes didn’t complete power cleans the first time, they’ll target 80%. In part 2, Today's piece will require a lot of attention to our breathing if we're going to arrive at our barbell and be able to work all the way until the end of each round. We all love a good barbell cycling day, but when it's combined with two other movements meant to spike your breathing quickly and keep your heart rate high, we also want to be sure we're strategizing our barbell work.

Look For

  • Bike

Look for pacing. If athletes are significantly off the target distance, encourage modifying the distance.

  • Power clean

Catch position. Cue butt back, feet flat, knees out, and elbows up. Cue “fast elbows”.

  • Double under

Continue to look for 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.

  • Post Workout Clean Up & Chat (58-60 Minutes)

Mindset

“If you fight for your limitations, you get to keep them.” - Jim Kwik

Our harshest critic is in between our ears.

We’ve all been there... telling ourselves we suck. That we’re simply not good enough. Too old, too young, not good looking enough, not smart enough.

Each time we tell ourselves these things, we add one more vote to become them. The mind has this incredible power to bring into this world whatever we fixate on.

Yet what can be the harshest critic, can be the most powerful ally. Let’s leverage those thoughts to our best advantage.

After Party

12 Banded goodmornings
