STIMULUS
- Overview: Begin this metcon two minutes after establishing your heavy power clean. Each round begins with a 600m run. Use the remainder of each 4-minute window to accumulate as many power cleans as possible. There is no rest between AMRAPs.
- Run: Should take 3:00 or less, giving you at least 1:00 to accumulate power cleans each round. The run does not count towards your score.
- Power Clean: Barbell weight = 70% of your heaviest single in the prior EMOM. You should be able to complete these in steady singles.
- Intended Intensity: RPE 6-7
- Target Loading: Moderate-Heavy (70%)
- Fitness Attribute Improved: Aerobic Power [Lactate Threshold]
- Target Score: 35-55 Power Clean Reps
STRATEGY
- Run at a pace that allows you to get right to the power cleans and start performing reps.
- Singles will likely be the best move for most athletes so you aren't fatiguing the body by controlling the weight back to the ground.
- If you choose to perform cluster sets (small sets of touch-and-go reps), don't perform sets so large that you have to rest for long periods of time.
- Do not work so hard on the power cleans that you are not able to get right into a run and move at a steady pace.
