Battle of Unwritten Movement Standards
Workout 1 (9-Minute Time Cap)
This workout has two parts:
– Part A (2 Minutes): Max Calorie Row
– Both partners start seated on their rowers without touching the handles. At the call, both row simultaneously for 2 minutes. Your score for Part A is the combined calorie total from both rowers.
– Transition: You will have a 1-minute rest after Part A. You may not load your barbell during this time; Part B must start with an empty barbell.
– Part B (6 Minutes): 1-Rep Max Snatch & 1-Rep Max Clean
– Establish a 1-rep max snatch and a 1-rep max clean. Either partner can perform either lift. Snatches and cleans can be power, squat, or split variations.
Each lane will be provided with 300 lbs of weight to share between the snatch and clean. If you plan to lift more than 300 lbs, you must notify your judge before Part A begins to receive additional weight. You may use each other’s bar for “warm up lifts” if desired.
Your score for Part B is the combined weight of your heaviest snatch and heaviest clean successfully executed.
As long as the barbell is lifted off the ground before the 6-minute mark, you may finish the attempt.
