1: Metcon (Weight)

Grit Squats – Week 4B

3 Supersets:

“X” Back Squats

“X” Front Squats

Rest 2:00 between sets.
Stimulus

– Superset means that we’ll complete our back squats, quickly change out weights (if needed), and then complete our front squats. There is little to no rest between the front squats and back squats but we’ll rest for 2:00 before completing the next super set.

– All percentages based on 5RM Back Squat (both front and back squat barbells).

Set 3

5 Back Squats @ 89%

5 Front Squats @ 76%

MC: “Snack Bar” (Time)

“Snack Bar”

3 Rounds:

400 Meter Run

10 Power Cleans

500/400 Meter Row

10 Push Jerks

Barbell: (155 / 105 lb)
Stimulus

– Conditioning Category: Threshold

– Choose a barbell weight that allows you to complete the push jerks in no more than 2 sets (bar comes from the floor).

– The run should take between 1:45-2:30 each round.

– Each of the barbell movements should take 1:00 or less.

– The row should take between 1:45-2:30 each round.

Strategy

THE BIG TAKEAWAYS

1. The first priority today is the barbell. Find a plan that you feel is consistent across the 3 rounds. For the cleans, this may be 10 straight, 5-5, 4-3-3, or singles. For the push jerks, we want to complete all 10 reps unbroken or have 1 break at MOST.

2. Run and row at a pace that supports your strategy on the barbell. The goal is to find the “max sustainable pace” that allows you to go big on the bar. We’d rather sacrifice a little speed here for bigger sets on the barbell.

3. Look to have the “just start” mentality today. Try to get your hands on the barbell and rower handle quickly. Shortening up the transitions from movement to movement adds up over 3 rounds.

EXTRA CREDIT:

Body Armor

3 Sets:

:20 Seconds Waiter Squat Hold (Each Side)

Max Strict Pull-ups

5 Tempo Romanian Deadlift (5 Seconds Down)
Stimulus

– We want to have a perfect and engaged squat hold with the waiter squat.

– Think quality movement patters over speed with the pull-ups here. Make sure your chin gets all the way over the bar at the top and that your arms fully straighten in the bottom with the head poking back through the arms.

– Record your max sets of pull-ups with the sum total being your overall score. Record weights used for the waiter squats and RDL’s in your notes.
