Strength
Take 15:00 minutes to Establish
Back Squat 5RM

We are looking to start with sets of 2-3 reps at a time to give us a gauge of where we will be at to test the 5RM for the Day. The goal here would be to hit a 5 Rep Max at around 85-90%. We have been building our intensity here over the course of this cycle and should be ready and peaked to hit a strong and solid effort here.

Goal: ~4 Rounds

Primary Objective: Unbroken Goblet Step Ups
Secondary Objective: Consistent Shuttle Run Pace
Stimulus: Leg Stamina, Muscular Endurance, and Movement Efficiency in the Dumbbell Snatch
RPE: 8/10
The goal is to maintain steady movement without hitting a fatigue wall too early.
Primary Objective: Maintain unbroken and efficient movement across all stations to sustain a steady rhythm and minimize unnecessary breaks.
Secondary Objective: Limit transition times between movements to maximize total rounds. Any rest should be intentional and brief. If needed utilize the shuttle run as the time to recover a bit in order to keep the dumbbell movements unbroken.
Strategy:
Pacing & Efficiency
Maintain a steady, controlled pace from the start to avoid burnout.
Focus on smooth transitions between movements to minimize wasted time.
Avoid redlining early—consistency will yield a higher score over 15 minutes.
Breakdown by Skill Level
Advanced:
Aim for unbroken movements with quick, controlled transitions.
Maintain a steady run pace, slightly pushing in the final minutes.
Intermediate:
Break snatches into two quick sets if necessary (6-6 per arm).
Manage breathing during shuttle runs and step-ups to prevent burnout.
Beginner:
Break snatches into smaller sets (e.g., 4-4-4 per arm).
Step deliberately during shuttle runs instead of sprinting.
Use a lighter dumbbell or adjust box height if needed.
