DESCRIPTION
STIMULUS
Time Stimulus: 12:00-20:00 workout – Some athletes will move very quickly on this workout. To make sure this workout doesn’t turn into a 20:00+ stimulus, we should reduce the loading and/or repetitions.
Category: Threshold
Goal: Steady singles or 1-2 sets on the Power Cleans / 2 sets on the Push Jerks
We have 1600m of Running (1-mile); 42 Power Cleans; 42 Push Jerks
RUN
200m of running should take ~1:00 consistently
POWER CLEAN
We should choose a weight with which we can do a rep every :05 and could complete all reps unbroken when fresh.
PUSH JERK
Choose a weight that would only require one break on the set of 15 and 12. The set of 9 and 6 should be unbroken. If we have to break more than once on the set of 15, consider reducing the load. Another consideration could be to keep the load but opt for a rep scheme of 12-9-6-3.
EFFICIENCY TIPS
The Power Cleans are moderately heavy and can be cycled with ease, but it still may be a smart idea to opt for quick singles for the sets of 15 & 12. That been said, if this load and movement is not problematic for you, then push harder and go for unbroken or two sets! What’s the worst that could happen 😉
Move with some fire on the Run, but be cautious to not over do it. especially while needing the lower body on the barbell.
Attack the Push Jerks! Every break requires an additional Clean before being able to go overhead. We don’t want more work than we need.
The reps decrease, push a little harder…especially towards the end! Own the barbell. Enjoy the journey!
