Monday August 25, 2014

Workout of the Day
A.
Every two minutes, for 12 minutes (6 sets):
Hang Snatch (mid-thigh) + Snatch @ 80-85% of 1-RM Snatch

B.
Every 2 minutes, for 10 minutes (5 sets):
4-Stop Halting Snatch Deadlift @ 95-105% of 1-RM Snatch
(Pause for 3 seconds at each of the following positions: 2″ off the floor, mid-patella, mid-thigh, “pockets”/high hang – USE STRAPS)

C.
Every 2 minutes and 30 seconds, for 20 minutes (8 sets):
Back Squat
*Set 1 – 6 reps @ 60% of 1-RM
*Set 2 – 4 reps @ 70%
*Set 3 – 2 reps @ 80%
*Set 4 – 6 reps @ 70%
*Set 5 – 4 reps @ 80%
*Set 6 – 2 reps @ 90%
*Set 7 – 4 reps @ 85%
*Set 8 – 4 reps @ 85%

Same loads as last week for those that missed any lifts. If you made all lifts last week, you may increase the weight – but do not increase by more than 3%.

D.
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 12 minutes of:
12 Strict Handstand Push-Ups
24 Heavy Russian Kettlebell Swings

Use the same weight you used last week for the swings – your goal is to see if you can achieve the same or greater total volume despite a more challenging rep scheme.

OPTIONAL Additional Conditioning Session
If you have the ability to perform two sessions in one day, and you identify yourself as someone who is stronger than they are well-conditioned, add in this optional work. Preferably this work would be performed early in the day, at least 3-4 hours prior to today’s primary work.
