Barbell: 45/35lb, 20/15kg
Box Height: 24/20in

Time Domain: 12-15min
Time Cap: 17min
Goal: Finish each round between 1:30–2:00; maintain a tight window across all 5 sets
Stimulus: Barbell cycling with moderate fatigue and fast transitions
RPE: 8/10
Primary Objective: Cycle the barbell efficiently—unbroken or strategic quick breaks to stay consistent each round.
Secondary Objective: Maintain steady footwork across the box to reduce fatigue bleed into the overhead squats.
Workout Strategy:
Approach each round as a controlled sprint. Choose a barbell weight that allows for at least 6–10 unbroken reps on the power snatches and ideally an unbroken set on the overhead squats. Transitions between movements should be immediate—no wasted time. Step down on the box jump overs to conserve energy and keep rhythm. Maintain a strong, braced position on the overhead squats, focusing on shoulder stability and midline engagement. Use the 1:00 rest wisely, breathe deep, shake out the legs, and reset your grip. The goal is consistency across all five sets, not a blowout first round followed by a fade.
Movement Modifications:

Overhead Squats: Modify to front squats, dumbbell overhead squats, or reduce load if mobility/stability is a limiting factor.

Power Snatch: Scale load or adjust to hang power snatches or single-arm dumbbell snatches.

Box Jump Overs: Step-ups or step-overs for athletes with impact or knee/ankle limitations; adjust box height as needed.
