Um....Good teamwork Steve?
SWOD: Back, Hip, Back & Hip Extensions review

Metcon: Complete 3 rounds for quality:
-Run 800 meters
-Power Clean, 15 reps

There is no time aspect or set weight for this workout.  Complete the work as you see fit.  There are several ways to do it.  If you want to focus on fast run intervals (preparing for the 5 K next week) then use the Power Cleans as an active rest with lighter weights focusing on form.  Or if strength is your focus (for the Total next week), then use a more tempered pace on the 800 m runs and focus on increasing Power Clean weights each interval.  Or you can team up with a friend and simply race each other using similar guidelines.  If you want to do the whole thing for time, you can certainly do so.  Simply pick a weight, say 55% of your 1 rm, and complete the whole thing for time.

There are several ways to do this and if you don't have any idea what to do talk to your coach.  He or she will certainly provide you with I'm sure the easiest variation of this workout possible.

  9. Hey Coaches,
    Just spent some time reading all of your training logs...good stuff!

    SWOD: did shoulder presses - worked up to 60x3, and couldn't do 65x1. Such a mystery
    Metcon: fast as I could because I was late to work

    P.S. Doug you know kenny never gets on the blog. He has been coming in the mornings
