  • Quadruped T-Spine rotation – 10 reps
  • Seated Quadruped T-Spine rotation – 10 reps
  • Scorpion 90° – 10 reps each side
  • Shoulder flexion – 5 reps x 3 sets each side
  • Shoulders Dislocates with band  10 reps (slowly)
  • Shoulder extension with barbell – 10 Reps
Ankle Mobility – Part 3
2 Sets for Quality
  1. 10″+10 Squat Pos.Pallof Press (each side)
  2. 6+6 Single Arm Prone Angel
  3. 10″+8 Single Leg Straight Bridge (each side)
Squat Position Pallof Press
Single Arm Prone Angel
Single Leg Straight Bridge

The Goal of the work is to improve your power output of the central nervous system to have a transfert on the movements of strength and power

Pay attention to:

  • Perception of the foot on the ground
  • Quality movement mechanics
  • Impact time which must be as short as possible
Target of this workout is not to perform every interval like a “for time”, but to keep a solid pace trying to lift with consistency until the end.
You have 30” for every lift, take your time and do not fail.
Every power snatch should look and feel identical which means feet position (start and catch), timing of hip contact and elbow turn over, solid shoulder lock on catch.
Every lift shall be completed as if a judge was standing in front of you.
Power Snatch

Warm-up by singles until reach @ [percent value=’80’ of=’snatch’ in=’kg’][/percent] then

From 00:00 to 03:00

6 Power Snatch @ [percent value=’80’ of=’snatch’ in=’kg’][/percent]

From 03:00 to 05:30

5 Power Snatch @ [percent value=’80’ of=’snatch’ in=’kg’][/percent]

From 05:30 to 07:30

4 Power Snatch @ [percent value=’80’ of=’snatch’ in=’kg’][/percent]

From 07:30 to 09:00

3 Power Snatch @ [percent value=’80’ of=’snatch’ in=’kg’][/percent]

From 09:00 to 10:00

2 Power Snatch @ [percent value=’80’ of=’snatch’ in=’kg’][/percent]

From 10:00 to 10:30

1 Power Snatch @ [percent value=’80’ of=’snatch’ in=’kg’][/percent]

Try to keep a solid good lift form even with high percentage.
Focus on not “dropping” to the floor and praying for a good rebound but control the eccentric phase and push explosively with the feet when you break the parallel.
If you feel the weight is too heavy, use the stress balance on top page to scale your loads. This is not a crime!
The daily 1.2.3…10RM isn’t a lifetime PR, lifts must be fast (no grind or sticking point) and technically as
much correct as possible.
RPE are the self regulated scale meaning that during a 9RPE you must have 1 buffer repetition.
For example, this week during the 3RM@9RPE I will stop loading the barbell once I feel that the fourth repetition is the last that I can complete properly.
Tempo 3.3.1= 3” eccentric phase 3” pause @ bottom position 1” concentric phase
Back Squat

Warmup by triple up to [percent value=’65’ of=’Backsquat’ in=’kg’][/percent] then

Every 3′ for 18′

Find Daily 3RM @ RPE 9 in 6 incremental interval

rest 3′

Back Squat – tempo 3.3.1

5 x 1 @ 95% of Daily 3RM
rest 2′ b/s

If you took part in the 2019 Fall Series as individual you did this workout already.
Save your grip, elite athlete can only relax grip in overhead position and over the bar in the bmu.
Manage HSW like a normal transition, 5mts aren’t a long distance, take a breath and go.The other athletes should avoid to drop every complex but at the same time shall take a rest during the first 2 sets of bmu so that they do not end up struggling (in fatigue) during the last and heavier rounds of workout.
If HSW isn’t your best skill before starting allow your heart rate to drop and your shoulder to release tension.
If your RM of c&j is lower than 120/80 use 50/60/70/80 – 40/45/50/55 to have the same stimulus and intensity.

This is a call for your best efficiency during Barbell cycling. The target is to keep a smooth pace as if you were on a competition floor with hard judging. Complete every single repetition.
Try to:
– Keep the same pace during each set;
– Move smoothly without pause and keep breathing;
– Be efficient, less power output and less bar movement which leads to a lower energy loss.

Avoiding bouncing on the chest allows us to train our starting strength which is the critical phase of the press. If you feel the weight is too heavy, use the stress balance on top page to scale your loads. This is not a
crime!
The daily 1.2.3…10RM isn’t a lifetime PR, lift must be fast (no grind or sticking point) and technically as much correct as possible. RPE are the self regulated scale, 9RPE means that you must have 1 buffer repetition.
For example, this week during the 3RM@9RPE I will stop loading the barbell once I feel that the fourth repetition is the last that I can complete properly.
Tempo 3.3.1= 3” eccentric phase / 3” pause @chest / 1” concentric phase
Bench Press

Warmup by triple up to [percent value=’65’ of=’bench-press’ in=’kg’][/percent] then

Every 3′ for 18′

Find Daily 3 RM @ RPE 9 in 6 incremental interval

Rest 3′

Bench Press – tempo 3.3.1

5 x 1 @ 95% of Daily 3RM
rest 2′ b/s

Terminate workout when:
– you begin to compensate biomechanically;
– breathing cannot return to baseline during rest
– you can no longer elicit 442 watt
When you fail, for the remaining time cool down up to 45:00 by easy mono structural elements. Respect the time of work, set the timer like an EMOM with 30” on 1’ off.
Place your KBs pretty close to the bike erg, goblet squats must be fast, triple extension isn’t mandatory.
Burpees over the KB must be as fast as possible without stepping up/down trying to be explosive with your chest on the floor.
Increasing the wattage implies a risk of losing muscles coordination. This is the best way to increase the mitochondrial biogenesis and density.
Sprint Interval Training
As many round as possible in 45′

10″ Goblet Squat w/ heavy Kettlebell

High repetitions + short time, barbell efficiency and severe pace on burpees are the keys.

Try to finish every round b/t 1’15 and 1’25″.
High volume of Front Facing Burpees of this week allows you to find your fastest and energetically less expensive technique, exploit it!
Focus on full recovery on rest and restart to workout with a baseline heart rate as long as possible.

In the strength training we advise to not lift in a touch n’ go sport specific style but dropping every rep training the “starting” strength. Please remember that the first 2 cm are the hardest part of the lift.
The deadlifts are a pushing exercise and not a pull one so feel that your feet are pushing the floor and be patient, let the legs do their job without any involvement of the lower back.
Arms are relaxed along the whole lifting time, biceps do not help you to lift 200 Kg.
Last but not least, take a deep breath and engage your “core muscles” before every lift to create a compact structure.
If you feel the weight is too heavy, use the stress balance on top page to scale your loads. This is not a crime!
The daily 1.2.3…10RM isn’t a lifetime PR, lifts must be fast (no grind or sticking point) and technically as much correct as possible
RPE are the self regulated scale, 9 RPE mean that you must have 1 buffer repetition.
For example, this week during the 3 RM @ 9 RPE I will stop loading the barbell once I feel that the fourth repetition is the last that I can complete properly.
Tempo 1.1.3 = 3″ eccentric phase (negative).
