Goal: Consistent Mechanics under increasing loads
Score: Sum Total Load between Squat Clean and Bench
Stimulus: Heavy Lifting Under Controlled Rest / Power Output and Absolute Strength
RPE: 8/10
Primary Objective: Maintain clean mechanics under barbell fatigue across squat clean triples
Secondary Objective: Stay consistent on the Bench, while managing wall ball interference
Workout Strategy:
“Them Bones” is a heavy alternating EMOM that targets full-body strength, front rack positioning, and pressing under fatigue. The 1.1.1 squat clean format emphasizes repeatability and battery work, treating each rep as a single with a controlled 10 second reset between.
On the bench press, weight should feel moderately heavy but manageable. Athletes should move with tempo—no bouncing—and maintain tight control into the 16 wall balls, which will immediately challenge shoulder endurance and breathing.
This is as much about position and pacing as it is about raw power. Move intentionally and avoid overreaching early.
Movement Modifications:
Wall Balls: – Reduce loads, target height, or volume (12 reps)
Squat Clean: Start by reducing the loading. If needed, switch to power cleans or hang squat cleans for athletes with limited mobility or capacity.
Bench Press: Look to move to Floor Press or Dumbbell Bench for Shoulder Limitations. Adjust reps to 6–8 if using lighter DBs.
