Athlete Notes:

The classic Saturday repeater workout. Volume accumulation, intensity, and ability to recover are all things that we’re training with this session! Go hard on the first set, and then see how well you can recover and repeat that effort. When we break things into sets with a decent amount of rest, it’s a great way to work on some intensity, while still accumulating the volume of a “longer” workout. All of these movements should be able to be completed unbroken, with the caveat being the power cleans…you may choose to break them, but if you were fresh, you should be able to do 12 unbroken at the weight you choose. Keep the intensity high here and earn tomorrow’s rest day!
