Stimulus: Pacing Threshold. This is Open workout 20.1. It’s a great test of capacity and we’ll be using this over the next 8 weeks to improve snatch strength, cycling and pressing and burpee capacity. Use this to learn where you are today. Know your time for this workout.
Strategy: This workout is all about your maximum sustainable pace. Rounds 1-5 are a buy in and rounds 6-10 are the actual workout. Going out too hot will make for a long workout as seconds tend to disappear in this workout. Know realistically what you can hold across 10 rounds in order to be consistent. Let’s look to hold even split times and keep moving, once you’re done with the 5 round know your split time. Also take note that the total volume is 80 power snatch and 100 Bar Facing Burpees. There are a few different ways to break this up:
Unbroken Snatches. How fast can you go on the burpees
2 Sets of snatches. Recover on the burpees
3 Sets of snatches or ground to overhead. Recover on the burpees
Burpees should be quick down and up and slow over the bar. Also realize that transitions do matter, let’s get started on the barbell right away.
Mindset: Quick Transitions and Keep moving. Let’s go in with the mindset of getting back on the bar and keep moving as much as possible.
