MANAGEMENT:

  • Light weight or empty barbell

  • Solid, dead stop pause in the quick clean before dropping, focus on rolling around the bar dropping quickly, race the barbell to the bottom

  • Go slower than you think on the slow squat cleans, focus on each position as you come up then carry over the previous drill to chase the barbell to the bottom

  • Go through at least one set of each on command

SCORE: Time (includes rest)

PACE GOAL: 20:00-24:00

FEEL:

  • Interval Sprints

  • The bike will increase your heart rate and build some leg burn that will challenge your ability to stay consistent on the squat cleans and pull-ups

  • 2 minutes should allow just enough recovery to push the pace again

  • The third round will also have a good amount of muscular endurance fatigue

STRATEGY:

  • RPE of 7-8 on the bike, don’t blow yourself up, but you still need to move at a challenging pace

  • Steady singles all the way through on the squat cleans

  • Try to stay unbroken on the pull-ups

EQUIPMENT CONSIDERATIONS:

  • If you do not have enough bikes, here are the prioritized options

  • An option that is a bit challenging is to have two people share a bike and have the second person start 2 minutes later. This should give the first person time to get their bike done before the second person would start. With the two minutes rest between rounds that would allow this to work throughout

  • We have row and running over the next few days so I would not make those an option, but if you absolutely have to then it would be a 300-400m run outside, 200-300yd shuttle inside or a 25/20 Calorie Row

PARTNER OPTION:

  • Split all reps as needed, this could allow some people to do the Rx movements, but in less volume
