3.12.2024 8RFT Workout
8 Rounds for time
12 Deadlifts @ 70/47.5kg
9 Hang power cleans
6 Shoulder-to-overheads
35 Double-unders
Time cap. 16:00
Overview. This workout is all about efficient barbell cycling and smooth transitions. While the weights are manageable, the volume (216 barbell reps + 280 double-unders) adds up quickly, so a steady, deliberate pace is key. Grip fatigue can be a factor, so plan accordingly as you approach each movement.
Pacing. The goal is to maintain consistent round times from start to finish. Avoid sprinting the first few rounds—this will pay off as the barbell begins to feel heavier and grip becomes more taxed. Plan your breaks strategically to avoid excessive rest later in the workout. Stay controlled and finish strong!
Strategy. Break up the barbell movements strategically (using the transitions from one lift to the next) to avoid
early fatigue: 6+5+1 or 11+1 on deadlift, 8+1 or 5+3+1 on hang power cleans and unbroken on the push jerks (better to rest a bit longer before the final clean so you can do this).
Smooth and controlled double-unders will help minimise unnecessary rest. Focus on quick, deliberate transitions between movements to maintain momentum. Efficient transitions can save significant time over eight rounds
