Workout description

Warmup:
10
min
Equipment:
Barbell, Plyometric Box, Pull-Up Bar
Cooldown:
5
min
Modality:
Gymnastics, Weightlifting
Coaching notes
Begin with a thorough warm-up, including dynamic stretching and activation exercises for the shoulders, lats, and glutes. For the Clean and Jerks, focus on maintaining a strong grip and using your legs to generate power. Break up the reps as needed to maintain good form and avoid burnout. For the Chest to Bar Pull-Ups, use a kipping motion to conserve energy and avoid overuse of the arms. Scale to regular pull-ups or ring rows if necessary. For the Box Jumps, focus on a quick rebound off the box and landing softly. Step down instead of jumping down to reduce impact on the joints. Choose a weight that allows you to complete the workout in under 20 minutes. Maintain a steady pace throughout the rounds, avoiding redlining early on. After completing the workout, cool down with static stretching and foam rolling for the quads, hamstrings, and shoulders. Remember to hydrate and refuel with a balanced meal.
