Goal: Accumulate 10–20 power snatch / set (Total of 50 Reps +/- 5-10)
Stimulus: Gritty aerobic threshold effort with midline and grip interference into high-skill barbell cycling
RPE: 9/10
Primary Objective: Maximize barbell time by pushing the run and toes-to-bar efficiently without redlining. We are looking to complete the run right around that 5:00 mark.
Secondary Objective: Maintain clean, consistent power snatch technique under fatigue—fast singles are ideal
Workout Strategy:
Each 8:00 interval is a race to earn time with the barbell. Run aggressively (~80–85% effort) to finish around the 5:00 mark, leaving time for a quick, efficient set of toes-to-bar. Break the toes-to-bar early (e.g., 10-8-7 or 15-10) to avoid grip failure. The power snatches are the key crux of this workout and how the workout is scored. Opt for fast, crisp singles with quick resets to keep moving without burnout. Use the 4:00 rest to breathe, shake out your forearms, and prepare to repeat. Consistency across sets is the primary focus. Rounds 2 and 3 will expose pacing flaws from round 1, so don’t go out too hot.
Movement Modifications:
Power Snatch: Scale weight or modify to hang power snatch (lower back limitations or newer athletes) or dumbbell snatch for shoulder or mobility restrictions.
Run: Scale distance to 800m or 600m based on time constraints or aerobic ability
Toes-to-Bar: Modify to toes-to-target, alternating toes to bar, hanging leg raises, or V-ups. We can also reduce reps to 15–20 as needed
