7 x 1 Split Jerk. This is a time to work on speed and technique. Those of us that have a little experience with Olympic lifting know that lifts about speed. Take each lift from the rack. Warm-up prior to starting your working sets. The 7 x 1 are your working sets and they should feel medium-heavy. You can rest 2-5 minutes between each lift. In fact, that rest would be preferred.
We’ve done a lot of rowing and sledding already this week. Even though today would normally be a mono-structural day, I’m changing it up a bit. This is still a medium paced , or 70% intensity, style of workout. You are doing a lot of walking. The first is a dumb bell carry (or hold) overhead. Pick a set of dumb bells that you can do these without struggling. No more than 50lbs; no less than 10lbs. Set the dumb bells down, and then bear crawl down and back. Pick up the dumb bells and walk back with them. Finish the round on the other sider with dumb bell step-ups. Rest as much as you need along the way.
