 A. Clean Deadlift
7 x 1 7 Seconds Up, 7 Seconds Down) *Deadlift from the clean position. Set 1: 40% Set 2: 45% Set 3: 50% Set 4: 55% Sets 5-7: 60% STIMULUS Positioning is the focus of our opening piece for today At lighter percentages of your 1RM Clean, take 7 seconds to reach the top and 7 seconds to lower the bar back down to the floor The challenge here isn't the weights themselves, rather maintaining control of the weights during the slow tempos During each 14 second lift, let's keep the hook grip on to simulate how we would typically clean Rest as needed between sets to maintain quality MOVEMENT FOCUS Slowing things down really allows you to feel out a couple key points: **Lats On: **Close the gap between the bar and the body, actively pressing back on the weight during the ascent and descent Hips and Shoulders Together: Keep the torso angle the same until the legs straight or the bar is above the knee FITNESS 8 min AMRAP 8 Dual KB DL 14 GHD SU B.

STRICT PRESS FROM JERK RECEIVING POSITION For Quality: 3 x 5 STIMULUS The focus on this strict press variation is to hammer home the receiving position of the push jerk. You can build in weight, but keep the loading light enough that it preserves the quality of the movement. Rest as needed between sets to maintain solid positioning. MOVEMENT FOCUS The focus here is keeping a tight midline and a straight bar path. Keeping the weights light and tempo controlled enables you to better feel out those two points of performance. B. Pausing Push Jerk 3 x 3 (2 sec in dip & catch) STIMULUS Progressing from the jerk strict press to a more dynamic movement, the pausing push jerk. There will be a two second pause in both the dip and the catch position. Like the previous skill builder, build in weight while maintaining quality. The general percentage we're looking for here is to keep these below 50% of your 1RM Push Jerk. Rest as needed between sets to maintain solid positioning. MOVEMENT FOCUS The focus here is finding the heels in both the dip and the catch. Jumping and landing with the heels on the ground allows for better power and balance. Good movement here sets us up nicely for good looking percentage work that follows. C. Push Jerk (5 Rounds: 3 reps in 2 Minutes) Rx Set 1: 60% Set 2: 65% Set 3: 70% Set 4: 70% Set 5: 70% Scaled Build to a heavy load OR Jerk Tech FITNESS 10 min AMRAP 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6......

If there is one movement you plan on holding onto unbroken, make it the push jerks. The extra clean that comes with breaking the push jerk will be the most taxing break of any movement.

9am Advanced A. Metcon (No Measure) 5 Rounds Pausing High Hang Squat Clean Pausing Front Squat High Hang Squat Clean Front Squat 1 Set @ 55% of 1RM Clean 3 Sets @ 60% 1 Set @ 65% *On the pausing repetitions, we are pausing for a full two seconds. On the high hang squat clean, the pause takes place in the catch position (bottom of squat). On the front squat, same pause location… bottom of squat. Following, we run through the same movements, but this time without a pause. Loading is intended to be on the lighter side, as a technique primer for the following part. B. Metcon (Weight) 7 min EMOM Min 1 - 7 Hang Squat Cleans + 1 Push Jerk Min 2 - 6 Hang Squat Cleans + 2 Push Jerk Min 3 - 5 Hang Squat Cleans + 3 Push Jerks Min 4 - 4 Hang Squat Cleans + 4 Push Jerks Min 5 - 3 Hang Squat Cleans + 5 Push Jerks Min 6 - 2 Hang Squat Cleans + 6 Push Jerks Min 7 - 1 Hang Squat Clean + 7 Push Jerks Last week, we started with 53% of our estimated 1RM CJ. Aim is to beat that score today, knowing that we will be repeating this workout again in the future. A moderate increase of 2-4% is appropriate here with the larger picture in mind. C.

Muscle Snatch
5 x 3 * Start at 40% of our estimated 1RM, and aim to build to a moderate for the day. This is a movement that will stay on the lighter side given it's nature… building towards, but likely not exceeding, 55%. The Muscle Snatch is similar to the Push Press. In both movements, we are using the arms to finish off the movement. We come to full extension with the lower body, putting our best power into the bar, but we are not getting back beneath it. Instead, we "muscle" the bar overhead. What this train is the speed of our turnover in the lift. The change of direction from a pull to a pressing motion. Focus points: High pull. If we don't keep the bar close to our body, and swing it out in front, it will stay out there. Connection. If we lose a feel of connection to the bar, we won't be able to finish the lift. Stay in connection to the bar with our lats constantly being squeezed "on". Speed in the turnover. Although obvious, thinking fast hands to lockout is a very important aspect to finishing the lift. SCALED - Hang Muscle Snatch building to a heavy load BEGINNER - Hang Muscle Snatch Tech FITNESS - 10 min AMRAP 12 DB Snatches (35/25) 8 Box Jump Overs (24/20) Sprint to wall and back B. Metcon (Weight) 5 min EMOM 5 "Touch and Go" Squat Snatches *This is a workout we will repeat, so let's start with a baseline today. Athlete's choice on the loading, with the intention being that we hold the same weight across (and building in the next iteration). A good starting place to be in here is 60% of our estimated 1RM. If we are *unable* to complete the OTMx5 with the same weight across, make a note to ourselves where we failed as we will have a chance to improve on so. But as we start, it is far better to choose a load that is slightly too light, and make it, than choose one that is slightly too heavy, and not.
