STIMULUS AND COACH’S NOTES
STRENGTH/SKILL
Stimulus: Heavy Rest: As Needed
Coach Focus: Our high CNS lift is the fan favorite Back Squat! As a friendly reminder, we want your athletes squatting below parallel not to parallel. Hold your athletes to a high standard when it comes to depth.

CONDITIONING
Feel: Cardio/Gas Pacing: Reach
Target Score: 4+ Rounds Firebreather Score: 8+ Rounds
Scaling:
Power Snatch: Should ideally be 1 set at all times, but if an athlete is moving
fast they may require 2. Overall, bar should be very light. Scale weight before reps. If an athlete cannot go overhead due to injury, scale to power clean
Pistols: Preserve ROM at all costs today. Scale by having athletes squat to a
band or a box. Deconditioned athletes can perform lunges, step ups, or air squats. See video in “Additional Notes/Resources” for pistol scaling.
Coach Focus: Conditioning is a quick back-and-forth between Power Snatch and Pistols. Power Snatch should ideally be 1 set and the pistols should never exceed :30 of work`. Coaches should allow athletes to take the time they need to warm up their pistols before starting. We want to avoid your athlete’s pistols “getting better” as they work through the workout because this means they did not warm up enough.
