Primary Training Session
Mobility, Activation & Warm-Up
Spend 10 minutes rolling out the t-spine, lats and any other area that feels tight.
A.
Every 90 seconds, for 9 minutes (6 sets):
2 Snatch Presses from Receiving + 2 Drop Snatches
Build over the course of the 6 sets, but understand the goal is activation and positioning, not maximal loading.
B.
Every 90 seconds, for 15 minutes (10 sets):
2 Snatch Lift-Offs
+ High Hang Snatch
(pause 2 seconds at mid patella on each of the lift-offs)
Build from approximately 65% to today’s heavy. If you miss, reduce the load and repeat that set. If you miss twice, move to the next portion of the workout.
C.
Back Squat
*Set 1 – 5 reps @ 65-70%
*Set 2 – 3 reps @ 75-80%
*Set 3 – 1 rep @ 85-90%
*Set 4 – 8 reps @ 75%
*Set 5 – 8 reps @ 75%
*Set 6 – 8 rep @ 75%
Rest 2-3 minutes between sets.
*Increase last weeks loads by 2-3% if you were able to hit all reps successfully.
D.
Every minute, on the minute, for 21 minutes (7 sets):
Minute 1: 15-18/10-12 Calorie Row
Minute 2: 15 Thrusters (95/65 lbs)
Minute 3: 30 Double Unders + 10 Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups
Athlete Notes:
We are starting the week off right with heavy lifts and a long EMOM. After completing your snatches and back squat you will get into a shorter, volume accumulation EMOM. Typically we will have these run 21 to 30 minutes. The main goal is to accumulate volume, but also to practice discipline. Don’t allow yourself to slack off or take extra rest. Build the discipline to start at the very beginning of each minute…even if you’re feeling fatigued and know you have time. When it comes to the amount of work in each minute, pick something that you could do unbroken and in less than 45 seconds at the start. You will want some time for transitions and we do expect times to slow by a couple seconds across the 21 minutes.

In the afternoon strength and row
Good start to the week Michele!
Just part D (scaled) this morning.
Subbed assault bike for the row.
Scaled to 12 thrusters.
And no chest to bar because i simply dont have the equipment.
Started slow and had some trouble starting the double unders, if i did not trip on the first 2 reps i could just do them unbroken, very weird.
Kept increasing the intensity during and towards the end i was about 15-20 sec quicker on the thrusters and double unders.
Added an extra 3 minute round because i started slow.
Squats tonight.
Took you a minute to get moving but you got there in the end! Solid start to the day!
