“How much do you care about getting better?”

Sounds like a silly question, but most don’t think about this.

When we are truly care about getting better, our view on things change. We see events as a means to grow… truly chances to improve ourselves. The opposite is when we view everything as a test.

When we find ourselves comparing against others, stuck on the thought of viewing “X” as a measuring stick against our goals, remind ourselves of this question. How much do we care about getting better?

SUBS

DOUBLE UNDERS

-Reduce Reps

-45 Single Unders (1.5x)

-30 Seconds of Practice
STIMULUS

-Over the 9 minutes of work, the hang squat clean reps climb by 1 every round

-The double under reps will remain the same throughout the workout

-Let’s choose a double under variation or rep number that can ideally be completed in 1 set each round

-The hang squat cleans should be performed at a weight that you could cycle for around 12-15 reps unbroken when fresh

-The score for this workout is total reps completed at the end of the 9 minutes *including double unders

STRATEGY

General:

-It’s the work that can’t be seen in the workout description that truly counts in this workout

-The opening 3 rounds essentially serve as a buy-in for what’s to come later

-The challenge comes as the hang squat clean reps start to climb higher and the double under volume piles up

-Move at a smooth pace early on that you see yourself holding 6+ minutes into this workout

Hang Squat Cleans:

-Once the barbell starts to approach a number that you consider challenging, think about getting to smaller checkpoints within the bigger set

-These checkpoints can help you to start the next movement more quickly than if you were thinking about having to complete a large set

-For Example:

-In the set of 8, just think about getting 4 reps done

-If you’re feeling good at 4, see if you can finish out the full set

-If you need a quick break, you’re already halfway done

Double Unders:

-Setting the rope down neatly after each set can also allow for efficient transitions and minimize wasted time during this short workout

-With a lot of transitions back and forth, time spent untangling the rope can add up fast
