Mon Nov 11 "Lift Weights, Then Lift Weights Faster" - STAT HOLIDAY HOURS

Today we are maxing out! You can choose to do one of the two Olympic Weightlifting movements and then finish with a quick named workout, or you can do both lifts and skip the barbell conditioning if you’d like. Our Kilostalk Weightlifting Club will be heading out to Westerns this upcoming weekend and it’s their last heavy day so they’d like to share it with you all :) We will also be selling 50-50 tickets so bring cash (e-transfer option also available) and give yourself a chance to win! As an added bonus, 25% of all proceeds collected in the 50-50 today will go towards Wounded Warriors Canada:

Train

1) Build to 1RM Snatch or 1RM Clean & Jerk

2) Choose between one of the two options below:

“Grace”

30 Clean & Jerks For Time:
Barbell @ 135/95

“Isabel”

30 Snatches For Time
Barbell @ 135/95

Stimulus

1) Build to a heavy single in any variation of the snatch or clean and jerk. You may start from the hang, finish in the power position, or attempt full lifts from the floor into a squat

2) Even though this is a short workout, it’s one that must be paced. Drop singles are recommended if you’re unsure, and aim for a sustainable pace by giving yourself a few seconds of rest between lifts. Use all of the practice reps from your heavy lifts earlier to make these as efficient as possible and hang on through the burn!
