Monday
Brief
Today is the third week of this 4-week block. Today's exercise is a barbell back squat with tempo 2012. 2 seconds down, no pause, drive up for 1 second, and a 2 second breathe-and-brace at the top of each rep. 3 working sets of 7 reps at the same weight as last week. (approx 70%) Next week we will perform the same weight for 8 reps. The goal of this back squat cycle is to drive muscular growth and to accumulate quality squat repeitions.
The metcon is a partner-based for-time WOD. One of our main competition pieces for the week. This WOD will be difficult to complete within the 15 min time-cap, so transition time between partners and between exercises will be key.

Today is the third week of this 4-week block.

Same weight as last week, approx 70% of your deadlift 1RM. The next (and final) week, we will perform 8 reps. The goal of this deadlift cycle is to drive muscular growth and to focus on proper positioning with the controlled tempo.

Brief
Today you will perform a set of the barbell clean complex each 90 seconds for 6 working sets. The barbell complex is as follows. 1 clean deadlift + 2 high hang squat clean. Use a heavier weight than last week. On the clean deadlift we are working on correct clean (not deadlift) positioning. On the high hang squat clean we are working on a straight bar path, keeping the bar close to us, and speed under the bar catching in the bottom of the squat. Next week will be 1 high hang squat clean. The weight should increase next week
The metcon is for-time based workout. This is our other competition piece for the week. Sub KB Snatch of KB Hang clean and jerk if needed.

Saturday
Brief
Today you will perform a set of the barbell snatch complex every 90 seconds for 6 working sets. The barbell complex is 1 snatch lift-off + 2 high hang snatch at a heavier weight than last week. On the snatch lift-off, you will think about pressing through the floor and keeping the chest up to bring the bar just below knee height before lowering the bar back to the ground. For the high hang snatch we are thinking about staying upright in the position 1 (do not start to hinge and do not let the chest come forward). Focus on keeping the bar close to you as you extend and then pull yourself fast under the bar, catching in the bottom of the squat. Next week will be 1 high hang squat snatch. The weight should increase next week.
The metcon is an opportunity to practise the skills of barbell cycing and gymnastics cycling.
