Workout of the Day
STRENGTH
A. E2MOM x 10:00
Three-Position Clean
Notes:
Execute one 3-position clean every two minutes (5 total work sets)
3 Position clean is: 1 high hang clean + 1 hang clean + 1 clean.
High hang position is the upper thigh; bar should not travel down the leg.
Hang position is just above knee.
Athletes may bail the hang clean and reset from the floor for the clean OR complete it as a touch and go rep if desired.
This link discusses the three-position clean, though note we are doing a “top down” variation, different than the video demo.
B. Front Squat
3×5
Notes:
Heavier than last week!
METCON
For Time:
50 Burpee Box Jump Overs
Notes:
There is a 7 min time cap on the workout.
Athlete’s body must be perpendicular to (facing) the box at the bottom of each burpee. Both feet much touch the top of the box before getting to the other side.
“Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.” Don’t rush your first 10 reps on this one, tempting as it may be. Aim to have a smooth start and see if you can hold a steady pace for most of your reps. Then send it in the final 10!
Scales today include taking the push up out of the burpee (for some or all of the reps) as well as scaling the height of the box.

IRONWORKS with Coach Katie
If you find yourself skipping out on the gym or modifying movements due to nagging aches and pains, then IronWorks is the right fit for you. Under the watchful eye of coach Katie, our in-house physical therapist, this program will focus on rehabilitation and performance simultaneously. She believes that training injured athletes to return to sport should be a systematic process that is tailored to the individual. Every participant can expect corrective strength balance work while safely resting their respective injury. In working with hundreds of clients over the last decade, Katie has established clear strength benchmarks that indicate an athlete’s preparedness to deadlift, run, press overhead, and so on. By following IronWorks, athletes will gain this objective knowledge and return to sport stronger and more confident than before.
What: 60 min semi-private personal training, 2x/week. Carefully planned programming provided to allow injured persons to train without worry. Similar to a regular personal training session, IronWorks will have a unique programming cycle. Based on movement screening and strength testing, folks attending class will follow an individualized strength cycle with pain-free scaling options alongside a group conditioning piece.
~30 min dedicated warmup/strength, ~30 min conditioning as a group

I hurt my shoulder a few years back. It was an injury which should have kept me out of the gym for a couple of months. I ended up taking a couple of sessions with Katie. She recognized the nature of my injury and created a detailed set of guidelines and modifications that allowed me to return to classes within 2 weeks, while still rehabbing my shoulder. I will be forever grateful for that. I can definitely vouch for her expertise in this area. -Gene K
