Our final offseason cycle is going to continue laying the foundations for the upcoming season. We will remain focused on strength, skill work, and aerobic capacity. While the primary focus has not changed, this upcoming cycle does come with a new set of progressions for each of these three main emphasis. The goal is to have our athletes continue to break through plateaus, build more capacity in skilled movements, and feel strong and healthy leading into the season.

Athlete Notes:
This workout is all about speed. It’s going to be tough to hit these intervals and finish them repeatedly in that 5 minute time domain. We suggest customizing the weight, reps, and row distance to where you have at least 30-60 seconds of rest on the first couple rounds. As you fatigue you’ll start to bleed further and further into that interval so give yourself a little bit of leeway early on. The rows should be a sprint, think 1k pace. The power cleans (as stated above) should be all touch and go, so pick an appropriate weight. The bar facing burpees are your speed burpees. Make sure you’re hitting each movement quickly and transitioning fast. The faster you go, the more rest you get!

8 weeks out of the biceps surgery! Return is close! I’m actually able to do way more than I initially thought at this stage so I’m happy
Glad to see you are on the right path to your recovery🙏
Thank you!
I’ve been away a while. What happened to your bicep and what surgery did you have?
Tore my distal biceps tendon playing softball l. Had it repaired 8 weeks ago! Pretty straightforward/easy surgery!
Welcome back! You’ll be stronger 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thank you! 💪🏼💪🏼
That is great to hear there is progress happening!
