Athletes Notes

Workout Strategy and Flow

  • LET’S GOOO. We have 10 minutes to accumulate as many rounds + reps as possible.
  • No Push Up Burpee + Jumping Lunge – 1 rep is a no push up burpee into a jumping lunge with the left leg and the right leg.
  • Shuttle Run – remember shuttle runs are down 25ft and back 25ft to make 1 50ft rep. If you only make it through 25ft when the buzzer goes off, then you don’t count that as a completed rep.
  • X-Jump No Jump Remember these are similar to an invisible dumbbell snatch. We are sending our hips back and being explosive without leaving the ground.

Athletes Notes

Workout Strategy and Flow

  • LET’S GOOO. We have 10 minutes to accumulate as many rounds + reps as possible.
  • Choose your dumbbell weight wisely. It should be the same weight used for both movements: Dumbbell Hang Clean and Jerk and Single Dumbbell Hang Snatch . These are alternating arms every rep and come from the hang position. You should be able to go unbroken on each set of 10.
  • Remember the key difference in the clean and jerk and the snatch is that you stop at the shoulder for the clean, using your legs to dip and drive the dumbbell up in the jerk. But for the snatch, it never stops at the shoulder. Be sure to use your hips to pop that dumbbell up.
  • Shuttle Run – remember shuttle runs are down 25ft and back 25ft to make 1 50ft rep. If you only make it through 25ft when the buzzer goes off, then you don’t count that as a completed rep. Use these shuttle runs as a change to shake the shoulders out before you get back to the dumbbell.
