Workout of the Day
STRENGTH
A1) Front Squat 3×10 reps @ 20X1
A2) Incline DB Prone Rows 3×10-12 reps with 1 count pause at the top of each rep
Notes
Today’s RPE for front squats is 6-7/10 for your 3 work sets at the same weight across. You should plan to do several warm up sets (4-6 rep range) to build up to your first work set. If you start out too high with loading in Week 1 it will be very, very difficult to increase weight week to week. Expect to leave a little in the tank!
Each week the number of front squat reps will decrease and the goal is to increase weight based on your RPE, bar speed, and range of motion. It may not be possible to increase loading every week especially if you are more advanced (or start too high Week 1).
METCON
5 rounds of 1 minute AMRAP:
6 ea Single Arm DB Push Press
AMRAP Double Unders or Air Bike cals in remaining time
Rest 2 minutes
Notes
Choose a moderately tough dumbbell weight you can complete all your reps unbroken on each arm (< 30 seconds). Each interval is short, so instead of subbing Single Unders, try counting all of your double under attempts to work on the skill.

New Training Cycle Details (7/3-8-27)
This 8 week cycle will take us through Fourth of July until the end of summer. With that in mind, here are some of our training biases and an overview of the schedule:
BIASES
Clean and Jerk Progression
This progression will be focused on improving split jerk technique. This may mean working from the rack and performing accessory movements to develop stability and balance in the jerk. The progression will culminate the last week with working up to a heavy clean and jerk.
Multi-Modal Workouts
The past 2 cycles we’ve spent a lot of time working on bodyweight strength and skill work. There will still be gymnastics skill work included throughout the cycle, but we’ll focus on applying those skills into multi-modal workouts (think classic couplets and triplets). This cycle will give you the opportunity to test then re-test a workout at the end of the cycle. This cycle the workout will be “Nasty Girls”. It falls on Tuesday July 4th. If you miss the workout due to the holiday, you can choose to make it up on your own time in OG or simply focus on honing your skills on Tuesdays with the goal of doing this workout at the end of the cycle.
Floater Fridays
Continuing with “”Floater Friday”” where members will have 3-4 options for their strength work which relate to the prior week’s programming. This is a great way to hit a movement you missed or want to bias.
SCHEDULE
Monday Front Squats and Horizontal Pulling Variations
Tuesday Varied Multi-Modal Gymnastics
Wednesday Bench Press
Thursday Clean and Jerk
