Strength

Take 10 minutes to build in weight to an RPE 7 for the following complex:

  • Power Snatch (position 1) w/ :02 pause in receiving position x 2 + Overhead Squat from pause after the second rep.

Then, every minute on the minute for 4:00:

  • Complete the above complex at your RPE 7 weight.

Notes

Today’s strength is snatches. The complex works like this: you will do a snatch deadlift. Then you will lower the bar to position 1 and perform a power snatch, pausing for :02 when you receive the bar overhead before standing to full extension and lowering the bar back to the hips. Then, perform another power snatch and pause again for :02 when you receive the bar overhead. Then, instead of standing, sink into the bottom of your overhead squat, then stand to full extension.

You will start by taking 10-minutes to build in weight to a moderately heavy weight. It should feel like a 7/10 difficulty and you will then need to be able to complete the complex four times at the top of the minute with that weight.

Conditioning

For time:

  • 400m Run
  • 30 Clean and Jerks
  • 400m Run

10:00 time cap

Notes

Today’s workout is a simple couplet of running and clean and jerks. Your score is the time to complete the prescribed work or the number of reps completed under the 10-minute time cap.

The runs should take no longer than 2:30. Adjust the distance accordingly.

The clean and jerks should be done with a moderate weight. Quick singles at a pace of :06 per rep or faster is the goal.
