Barbell: 75/55lb, 34/25kg
Goal Time Domain: 11-15 minutes
Time Cap: 17 minutes
Stimulus: Chipper Style Endurance Workout
RPE: 8/10
Primary Objective: Maintain sub 2:00 on the run and quick singles on the Clean and Jerks to work at a pace of 8+ per minute
Secondary Objective: Consistency on Push-Up Sets
Workout Strategy:
Today is meant to challenge pacing and muscular endurance with the goal of starting out on the run at a hard charging pace of around 5k pace before tackling consistent, yet conservative sets on push-ups to allow for greater consistency on the barbell and the second set of push-ups. We will then look to shake out the runs on the second run before coming back down through the workout with quick singles on the clean and jerk while looking to mimic the type of sets and reps we were tackling during the first round of push-ups.
Modifications:
- Run: Reduce the run to 300 or 200m as the first modifications. If needed we can adjust to a 900/800m Bike Erg, 30/22 Calorie Echo Bike, or 450/400m Row.
- Push-Ups: Reduce the Reps, Move to Elevated Push-Ups, or switch to band assisted push-ups
- Clean and Jerks: Reduce the loading, adjust to hang power clean and push press, or adjust to dumbbell power cleans and push press.
