Stimulus
  • Overview: Today we have a big workout with a descending rep scheme. This means we will likely start at a more conservative pace and be able to increase our effort throughout the workout.
  • Double Unders: Should roughly take the same number of seconds as the reps listed. Ex: 100 reps = 100 seconds (1:40) or less.
  • Power Snatch: Choose a barbell weight that you can complete in steady singles. Loading should not exceed 60% of your 1RM power snatch.
  • Intended Intensity: RPE 6-7
  • Target Loading: Moderate-Heavy
  • Fitness Attribute Improved: Aerobic Power [Lactate Threshold]
  • Target Score: 12-18 Minutes
Strategy
  • With a descending rep scheme, we will be able to increase our pace as the workout progresses. Work at a challenging pace in rounds 1 & 2 and see if you can increase your pace slightly each successive round thereafter.
  • A good starting pace for the bike would be a pace slightly slower than the pace you'd hold for a 20-minute bike test.
  • It will likely be best for the majority of athletes to perform their power snatches in singles to keep their legs from over fatiguing and slowing their bike pace down.
