Athlete Training Notes
We’ve got a couple separate scores coming up in today’s training session. Up first for our lifting we’ve got last year’s team semi-finals cleans event. Make sure you’re hitting the percentages if the prescribed numbers are not within your wheelhouse. The goal should be a rep every 6-8 seconds on the first bar, a rep every 10-12 seconds on the second bar, then 3-4 total reps on the last bar. After some back squat doubles we’ve got our finisher for the day which is a great partner opportunity if you’ve got a buddy to hit it with you. We’re emptying the tank and hitting full sprints on every set then seeing if/when the wheels fall off. Don’t hold back anywhere, starting from set one we want to see you hammering your sets as fast as you can. Can anyone hold sets to 75 seconds or less? If your shoulders are blown up and you just want a grinder of a workout there’s a machine based alternative option which is going to be arguably much more disgusting. But someitmes that’s what you need to send you into a rest day feeling some type of way. Hammer those starting from set one and see if there’s any dropoff.
