SESSION NOTES
Overview. While this is a big quarterfinals/semis style workout, there is not much interference between the movements. This means that If you’re strong on any single movement, you can make up time by moving fast there, then chip away at the rest of it. Note that you could get stuck having to take a long rest between sets/reps on 3/4 of movements here.
Pacing. Theoretically, the fastest time here would be unbroken DU, C2B and HSPU, then quick singles on the cleans. That being said, it’s better to break the chest-to-bars up early (if you’ll have to) so you can keep chipping away at them (2-3 sets/20). With each HSPU set starting with a wall walk, it’s good if you can keep these unbroken but don’t hesitate to get up for your 1st set if pretty sure you’ll have to break them up anyway (aim for no more than 3 sets/round here).
The cleans are best done as power cleans (if this is on the cards). The intent here is not to get stuck on the barbell = if the weight is too heavy to move through, choose a lighter option for a better workout.
Tips. Try a slightly wider chest-to-bar grip (where your elbow and wrists align at top of the movement – meaning elbows are not outside of the wrists) for a faster cycle rate/reduced ROM. Stay related and breathe on the double-unders, they’re your only “rest”.
Instructions. Set up equipment 2-3m apart to allow for easy transitions (this is your built-in rest).
Debrief.
– How was your pacing overall in each movement of the workout?
– How did your set breakdown/game plan work for you?
– How were your rest and transition times? Could you get straight to work each time?
– How would you change your approach and finish faster knowing what you know now?
– What two (2) things can you be proud of in this session? What one (1) thing must you improve?
