For time

  • 30 double-unders
  • 3 push jerks (♀ 125 lb, ♂ 185 lb)

Stimulus and Strategy Today’s workout is a weightlifting and monostructural couplet. The reps are relatively low to keep round cycle time faster for those who are proficient in both movements. Performing a single round in less than 1 minute is certainly possible, but today could also be a good day to work on double-unders, or on the push jerk under some fatigue. The loading on the barbell should feel challenging, but still allow you to perform unbroken reps in each round.

Intermediate option

  • 30 double-unders
  • 3 push jerks (♀ 95 lb, ♂ 135 lb)

Beginner option

  • 30 single-unders
  • 3 push jerks (♀ 35 lb, ♂ 45 lb)

Coaching cues Instead of thinking about pressing up on the barbell, think about pushing yourself down into the receiving position.
