**NOTES ON TODAY’S TRAINING EMPHASIS

I. Regarding the Impact/Focus Pause Front Squat:

– Description of the tempo for today’s Front Squats can be explained further HERE.

– Athletes should challenge themselves at each weight increase across sets, however keep in mind that this is training intended as positional development and preparation at durability under load before new max efforts and personal record opportunities present themselves within upcoming programming.

– Today is about feeling strong under the bar at challenging sets/reps; within all positions included within the Front Squat Range of Motion.

– Training emphasis is additionally relative to the pause, a lonely single little second, yet this aspect of training will tax the athlete to requires the control movement, retain stopping ability, and initiate the drive with explosive power out of the hole; the hold will assist in the ability to find ideal positioning in the bottom of the squat.

– The magic is in the movement, not the weight metric number attached.

II. Regarding the MetCon “No Ceiling”:
Scaling guidance for today is as follows.

– L3 (Rx+): Double-under sets must be completed unbroken to proceed in WOD. American KB Swings would be at 32/24kg respectively for male and female athletes. Whereas Double-unders utilize a mandatory goal of unbroken, today’s AKB Swings should be a weight selection emphasis as that which an athlete could potentially achieve each rounds workload either unbroken or with two sets of effort. GHD Sit-ups require touching both hands to the floor overhead at the ROM’s full extension.

– L2 (Rx): Standards for GHD Range of motion requires one hand to touch the deck at the ROM’s full extension position.

– L1 (Scaled): Single-unders at 1:1 repetition conversion to keep this training’s intended intensity value. GHD Sit-ups may be scaled to a no-touch, half range of motion, or ABMAT Sit-ups at 1:1 repetition conversion.
