WORKOUT BRIEF
DESCRIPTION
Each round of todays interval workout includes the same amount of work completed in 3 different iterations
The total amount of work in each 5-minute window is 30 reps at each movement
You’ll work through the listed reps and rest with whatever time remain until the next window
With rest built in, we’re looking to move quickly through each interval
To ensure you have enough rest built in, each piece should take less than 4 minutes to complete
This gives you at least 1 minute of rest before beginning the next iteration
Record your time for each interval, as your final score is the sum total of these 3 efforts
LATERAL BURPEES
This movement is completed laterally over the barbell
The chest and thighs hit the floor in the bottom
You can jump up or step up out of the burpee
The feet should pass over the barbell as you jump
There is no need to stand to full extension on the jump
CLEAN AND JERKS
We’ll use a light-moderate load here, with the emphasis on cycling larger sets
This should be a weight that you could complete for 30+ reps unbroken when fresh
MODIFICATIONS
CLEAN AND JERKS
DB clean & jerk
Kettlebell Swings
Slamballs
LATERAL DUMBBELL BURPEES
Regular Burpees
STRATEGY + WOD
GENERAL
With built in rest between rounds, look to move with a purpose through each station
While the reps looks different in each interval, the overall workload is the same
That being said, aim to keep these 3 scores within 10-15 seconds of each other
Use your first interval score to guide your efforts in the second and third
LATERAL BURPEES
Find a pace for your burpees that supports your plan on the clean and jerks
If we had to pick, it’s better to slow these down a touch in order to go bigger on the barbell
You’ll always be moving here, so find a steady rhythm and keep breathing
CLEAN AND JERKS
This is the most important movement in the workout, as it is the only one we would stop moving on
Plan out your breaks ahead of time and try to make them last less than 10 seconds
Keeping them to at least sets of 5 will make it easier
Consider the following sets in each interval
Set of 30:
1 Set: 30
2 Sets: 15-15 or 20-10
3 Sets: 10-10-10 or 15-10-5
4 Sets: 10-10-5-5
5 Sets: 10-5-5-5-5
6 Sets: 5-5-5-5-5-5
Sets of 15:
1 Set: 15
2 Sets: 10-5
3 Sets: 5-5-5
Sets of 10:
1 Set: 10
2 Sets: 5-5
