WODprep Strategy Top Tips:

Warm-up (10 minutes): Start with a light 3-minute row to prep the legs and elevate the heart rate for repeated rowing efforts. Then, perform bar-facing burpees slowly to establish a rhythm and loosen up the hips and shoulders. Finish with hang power cleans at light weight to warm up the pull mechanics and dial in barbell cycling efficiency.

Stimulus: Clean Density and Barbell Battery work 

Strategy: 2 minute AMRAP, 2-minute rest. Repeated 5 times. The goal is to have at least 30 seconds at the barbell. If you’re not getting 30 seconds, drop a few calories from the row in the next round. This is a high-power output piece. You need to row fast and burpee fast. The score is the total reps of power cleans. It’s important to have consistency across 5 sets.

  • Row: Maintain a strong, steady pace without overextending early. Use leg drive for efficiency.

  • Bar-Facing Burpees: Focus on consistent pacing. Jump or step over the bar smoothly to conserve energy.

  • Power Cleans: Prioritize quick hip extension and fast elbows. Keep the bar path close and move efficiently through reps.
