*Build over the course of the six sets to a moderate load drop snatch.
*Only build if catch feels solid
*Stick landing for a solid 1-2sec
 65, 70, 75, 80, 80, 85; I was able to do an actual drop snatch without dipping and driving and it felt fine, this helped me work on getting under the bar
B. 
Every two minutes, for 16 minutes (8 sets): 

High Hang Snatch + Snatch with No Foot Movement @ 65% of 1-RM Snatch
*(Last performed on September 2nd, 2014. Compare notes….are you getting faster and feel more comfortable with this movement? )

12 Toes to Bar

9 Strict bamboo presses (10lbs/side)

Minute 1 – Bamboo Bench press 8-10 reps
15# KB’s on each side, 10 reps per set
Minute 2 – Handstand Walk x 10-15 Meters
35sec HS hold, which got tough

C. 
Every 5 minutes, for 25 minutes: 

Row 500 Meters

20 Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups
*Complete each set as quickly as possible.
*Note times for each set.
*bump the chest to bar down if you cannot complete entire segment in less then 4min. By this point you should know what you are capable of doing. Once you pick a repetition number you can not change it.
I did 15 C2B per set because I was tentative to do 100 in one workout. Total times were 3:16, 3:19, 3:22, 3:23, 3:04; my row times were 1:59, 1:58.9, 1:59.6, 2:00, 1:58.6; I did regular kipping for the first 4 sets of C2B and broke them up quite a bit, then did butterfly on the 5th set and still broke them but not as much

Thursday
A. 
Every 2 minutes, for 12 minutes (6 sets): 

SS Yoke Bar Box Squats

2-2-2-1-1-1
*Build as you go. All sets of 2 should be between 75-85% effort. All 3 sets of 1 should be 90% or higher in effort
*If you feel good build to a 1 rep max at end
 145, 150, 160, 190, 200, 210, 215 (I did one extra set of the singles)

 125, 125, 135, 145, 145, 155, 165, 175, 175, 185 (failed on clean) – my legs were more tired from the box squats than I thought, my second pull was done for by the time I got to 185

16-20” box for females
I will need to help with these
Completed Rx, did 15 banded FSQ with thin red band

*NOTE ABOUT TODAY’S TRAINING

First of all, it’s not impossible to make these timeframes…some of you have made it through 4-7 sets on pace.
Outside of the physical training benefits, the purpose of these 30-minute EMOMs is mental hardening, and to do the best you have to put people against the seemingly insurmountable and find out how they respond. Some people keep trying – giving everything they have in each 60 second period until the bitter end. Others will give up because they couldn’t succeed. It’s a nice test for one day to see how people will hit that wall…and a good opportunity to learn from it in future workouts/events that test the outer limits.


Saturday
A. 
EMOM, for 10 minutes: 
Back Squat x 1 rep
*Sets 1-2 – 60%
150
*Sets 3-4 – 70%
170
*Sets 5-6 – 80%
195
*Sets 7-8 – 85%
210
*Sets 9-10 – 90% 220

B. 
EMOM, for 10 minutes: 

Bamboo Press x 2-3 reps with 1 sec hold at top
 15# KB’s/side, 3 reps each time with 2-3sec hold at top, these felt pretty good and I think I can start using more weight here if they continue to feel good
C. 
EMOM, for 10 minutes: 

Jerk Balance from Cage;
1) For the setup, the bar should start at or above your forehead, about an inch or so before you lock out.
2) Back foot anchored down in receiving stance. Front foot is about halfway forward.
3) Perform Jerk Balance by stepping front foot forward and punching body through.
4) Stand up and Recover
 125, 135, 145, 155, 165, 175, 185, 195, 205, 215
D. 
AMRAP in 12 minutes of: 

6 Strict Bamboo presses

9 Strict Pull-Ups

12 Alternating Pistols
6 rounds + 6 strict press – strict pullups got tough, doing some singles at the end 

Sunday

Every 10 minutes, for 50 minutes (5 sets) complete the following as quickly as possible:

6 Squat Cleans (155 lbs)

6 Bar Pullovers + 12 jumping bar dips
7:01, 7:48 (failed on 2 cleans), 7:37, 7:35, 7:57
 The cleans were hard. Row times = 2:01 – 2:02, runs took 2:00 – 2:10 towards the end. I might have rowed too hard, but I feel I need to continuously work on pushing my row pace
*The expectation is that you will have at least 2 minutes of rest between sets. If you are not getting a bare minimum of two minutes of rest per round, please scale the load of squat cleans.
