Back Squat15 min

Heavy Set of 10

Stimulus
  • This is the first week of our 10 rep sets, week 1 is not meant to be something we reach failure on or a true max weight 10 rep set. This week should set the bar for testing your 10 rep next week.
  • Athletes are completing one attempt at their 10 rep set.
  • Barbell should come from a rack.
  • Hips and knees should reach full extension at the top of each rep and hips should pass below the knees in the bottom.
  • Somewhere around 60%-70% of your 1RM is a decent estimate of where you MIGHT end up today, but NOT a rule.
  • If we work up to a weight in warm up sets that forces our form to get questionable, we should back off a little bit and complete our 10 rep set at a lighter weight.
  • Score: Heaviest set of 10
Strategy
  • Know that the first 4-6 reps will probably feel pretty good, once we pass the 7 rep mark is about where the reps may start to get a little slower. Aim for intentional and smart reps when we get to this point.

"Austin Powers" 12 min

Every 2 Minutes [Until 75 Reps]:
20 Box Jumps (24"/20")
Max Power Snatches 75 / 55 lb

Time Cap: 12 Minutes

Stimulus
  • The overall goal today is complete 75 Power Snatches, the barbell is light and should allow for 12-13 reps each round. At 0:00 and every 2:00 you will "buy in" with 20 box jumps, which should only take a minute or less to allow you to have 1:00 for power snatches.
  • Box Jump: 1:00 of work each round. Stand to lockout at the top of each rep.
  • Power Snatches: 1:00 to complete snatches, 12-13 reps each round.
  • Score: Time to complete 75 power snatches. If time capped, add 1s for every rep incomplete.
Strategy
  • With a 12 minute cap, you have 6 rounds to complete the 75 reps. You have to complete at least 12.5 reps each round to finish. Be sure to choose a load that allows you to hit the stimulus.
