Stimulus

– Conditioning Category: Threshold

– Interval 1 Barbell – Moderate load. One we can cycle for 15+ CJ unbroken when fresh.

– Interval 2 Barbell – Moderately heavy load. One we can cycle for 9+ CJ unbroken when fresh.

– Interval 3 Barbell – Heavy load. One we can cycle for 3+ CJ unbroken when fresh.

– Stimulus is to get to the barbell with *at least* 1.5 minutes to go in each interval. The buy-in is intended to be challenging, but the heart of the workout is the barbell.

Strategy

BIG TAKEAWAYS

– Rower: 5-7 hard, fast pulls at the start of each interval then settle. Keep your stroke rate down but leg drive STRONG. Think 30 strokes per minute or under.

– Box Jump Overs: Steady pace. We want to be ready to ATTACK the barbell.

– “Macho Man” Rounds: 2 single power cleans + 1 more power into an unbroken 3 front squats + 3 push jerks is the typical break up strategy we see. Have a “just start” mentality at the beginning of each “Macho Man” complex knowing that the first two cleans will be there. Take a couple breaths, then pick up the bar and COMMIT to holding onto the bar for the rest of the complex.

– See if you can get a similar score on each round with the reps on the row and box jump overs decreasing, while the weights will be increasing.
