"Empty Nester"10 min

For Time:
1,000/900 Meter Row
50 Overhead Squats 45 / 35 lb
30 Toes to Bar

Time Cap: 10 Minutes

Stimulus
  • Overview: A "Jackie-esque" sprint chipper on the docket today! Athletes should hold a hard effort and pace from beginning to end on this piece. The overhead squat is light and the reps for all movements are very doable, can you get uncomfortable fast and stay there until the end?
  • Row: 4:30 or less.
  • Overhead Squats: 3:00 or less.
  • Toes to Bar: 2:30 or less.
  • Score: Time to complete work. Add 1 second per rep not completed if time capped.
Strategy
  • Athletes should be pushing as hard as they are able from start to finish today.
  • Smooth = fast on overhead squats, meaning finding a cadence that allows you to hold onto the barbell under fatigue and just keep moving towards the end of the set without having to stop or rest the bar.
  • We need to be completing at least 12 toes to bar on the minute in order to complete under the time alotted.
  • If we aren't proficient with big toes to bar sets under fatigue, find quick smaller sets with quick rest to keep making progress through this set of 30 without losing steam.
