‘Clue’ is going to give us a chance to flush our legs out on the echo bike and work on some single leg strength with DB walking lunges. Pace yourself so you can be consistent each round and perform controlled reps on your lunges!
Thursday 10/26/23
A. Block Power Clean
Every 90 Sec x 8 Sets:
- Block Power Clean x 3 @ 55-60%
B. Sumo Box Squats
Every 2:00 x 5 Sets:
- Sumo Stance Box Squat x 6-8 Reps
C. Accessories
3-4 Sets Of:
- Sled Push x 100'
- KB Mixed Rack Carry x 100' / Side
The next 5 weeks we will work on power cleans from blocks. Blocks will force us to accelerate the bar more rapidly because of the limited distance. Blocks are a great tool to train speed / rate of force development. Weeks 1-3 we will work on sumo stance box squats while weeks 4-6 we will work on front box squats. Box squats will activate more of our posterior chain and be easier on the knees.

This week is leg heavy so be sure to come into class early to hop on a bike / foam roll if you’re feeling sore! See if you can pace yourself to keep push ups and TTB unbroken each round.
