The Hang Clean can be either a Power Clean or a Squat Clean. Ideally we catch high and start catching lower and lower on each set
Barbell Conditioning
"Checkmate"
3 Rounds for Time
15 Deadlift
30 Double Unders
12 Power Cleans
30 Double Unders
9 Hang Squat Cleans
30 Double Unders
Barbell: 61/43kg
Objectives, Stimulus, Workout Strategy and Movement Modifications:
Goal: 11-15 minutes
Time Cap: 15:00
RPE: 8.5-9/10
Stimulus: Barbell Cycling / Aerobic Capacity
Primary Objective: Manage the barbell across all three rounds. The loading descends in difficulty from deadlift to power clean to hang squat clean, but the fatigue accumulates in the opposite direction. Athletes who go out too hot on the deadlifts will feel it on the hang squat cleans by round 2.
Secondary Objective: Consistency on the Jump Rope. 30 Double Unders each set is manageable if athletes stay composed. Tripping repeatedly on the rope bleeds time and spikes the heart rate going back into the barbell.
