Emergency Brake (Time)

“Emergency Brake”

Working Through 8 Rounds of 2:00 On, 1:00 Off:

For Time:

24 burpees, 30 Power Cleans

24 burpees, 30 Front Squats

24 burpees, 30 Squat Cleans

Barbell – 115 / 85 lb
Stimulus

– Athletes pick up where they left off in the chipper after each 1:00 rest.

– Score is completion time, including rest periods. There is no rest period to add after the final 2:00 interval. 8 Round Cap. If there are reps still remaining when time expires, add 1 second to your time for every uncompleted rep.

– The weight on the barbell should be something you feel confident in cycling 15+ reps unbroken on all movements when fresh.

FLOW: At the call of 3, 2, 1, go, athletes will start working on the bike. Once the burpees are completed, athletes will advance to the barbell and start working on their 30 power cleans. At the 2:00 mark, athletes will have to stop what they are doing and rest for 1:00. After the rest period is over, athletes will continue to work from wherever they left off in the first interval. Athletes will continue on in this fashion over the course of 8 intervals or until all of the work is complete.

Strategy

THE BIG TAKEAWAYS

1. Find a strong pace on the burpees but not one that will totally smoke us for the barbell.

2. Let’s aim for quick sets on the barbell. Singles on the power cleans and squat cleans are okay but will not get us very far with such small windows to work. Sets of 3 or more work great.

3. Another approach on the cleans could be to alternate between sets and singles. For example, alternating between 5 unbroken reps followed but 5 singles.

4. Let’s aim for big sets on the front squats. 8-8-7-7 or 10’s.
