THURSDAY

 
Strength

6 Sets for load:

1 Clean lift-off

+ 1 Power clean

+ 1 Hang squat clean

*Perform a new set every 1:30

 

Today’s lifting should see beginner and intermediate lifters perfecting the mechanics of the three movements with lighter loads, whilst experienced lifters may increase across sets to a heavy but sub-maximal complex for the day.

 

WOD

Benchmark “Elizabeth”

21-15-9 Reps for time:

Squat cleans 61/43kg

Ring dips

 

Active: 15-12-9 Reps with 52/35kg

Lifestyle: 15-12-9 Reps with 35/25kg and push-ups

 

Time cap: 12 minutes

 

The benchmark workout “Elizabeth” should see options that allow fast singles if not touch-and-go sets on the barbell and repeatable sets of 5+ on ring dips across all sets. Staying away from pressing failure and careful pacing of the barbell to keep the heart rate in-check are the keys to success today!
