“Problems are simply opportunities in work clothes”
Complete as many rounds as possible in 16 mins of:
12 Hang Power Cleans, 155/105 lbs
21 Lateral Burpee Over Bars
12 Push Jerks, 155/105 lbs
21 Toes-to-bars
GENERAL
Moving around a moderate barbell with some gymnastic movements in today’s 16 minute piece
Over the 16 minutes, we’re looking to choose weights and variations that allow athletes to complete 2+ to 3+ rounds
BARBELL MOVEMENTS
The biggest thing to consider in today’s workout is barbell weight
Let’s choose a moderately heavy weight that can be completed in 2 sets on each round
Ideally we’re using one barbell weight for both movements, picking the load based on whatever movement is more challenging
TOES TO BAR
We’ll break up the toes to bar a little bit more in this workout than the barbell
Choose a variation that you can complete in 1-2 sets when fresh, but within 5 quick sets during the workout today
Movement Subs:
Reduce Reps
Toes to vicinity
Knees to Elbow
Knees to Chest/Waist
LATERAL BAR BURPEES
There is no need to stand to full extension on the lateral bar burpees
With barbell being dropped from overhead, let’s make sure athletes have enough space on the floor to execute these burpees safely
STRATEGY
GENERAL
While the lateral barbell burpees will be performed at a steady pace, we’ll have to consider how to break up the remaining 3 movements
With the moderately heavy bar and higher skilled gymnastics, taking a few breaks can be helpful in staying consistent across the 16 minutes
BARBELL
If you’re going to hold on for larger sets on one movements, make it the push jerk
Breaking the push jerk requires you to complete extra cleans that do not count towards your score
Consider the following break-up strategies for 12 barbell repetitions:
1 Set: 12
2 Sets: 6-6 or 7-5
3 Sets: 4-4-4 or 5-4-3
TOES TO BAR
Less is more on the toes to bar, as it is a movement where our rhythm can go with fatigue
Consider the following break-up strategies for 21 toes to bar repetitions:
2 Sets: 12-9
3 Sets: 7-7-7 or 8-7-6
4 Sets: 6-5-5-5
5 Sets: 5-4-4-4-4
7 Sets: 3’s
