“Bang, Bang”
Complete for time
12-10-8-6-4-2 reps x Front Squat (135/95lbs)
21-18-15-12-9-6 reps x GHD Sit-ups
Notes:
- This workout format is as follows: 12 x Front Squats followed by 21 x GHD Sit-ups for the first round, the second round is 10 x Front Squat and 18 x GHD Sit-ups, etc.
- There are six rounds total.
- Weights come from the floor today via Power or Full Cleans to begin each set.
- Scale the Front Squat weight based on a lifting rep max score for Front Squat as reference point such as a one or five rep max.
- Athletes will be shown how we use these numbers as well as a 60% bodyweight reference point t0 establish goals for lifts as well as applied strength assignments for training in ‘metcons’ (metabolic conditioning training workouts such as today’s Front Squat and Sit-up Couplet).
- Scale GHD Sit-ups to Abmat Sit-ups for 30-25-20-15-10 rep rounds respectively.
- Rx+ would be scaling up to a 1 x bodyweight Front Squat (provided this weight may be performed unbroken for repeated efforts of 5-9 repetitions per set).
