Quick Start
- This workout begins with the athlete standing behind the box, facing it.
- After the call of “3, 2, 1… go,” the athlete will complete 20 box jump-overs and 15 clean and jerks at Weight 1.
- If all reps are completed before the 3:00 mark, the athlete will immediately advance to the next interval, adding 3:00 to the clock and increasing the barbell weight (Weight 2).
- The athlete does not need to wait for the 3-minute interval to end to begin the next round.
- Each subsequent interval follows the same pattern: 20 box jump-overs; Fewer clean and jerks at a heavier load
- Athletes will continue this progression until they can no longer complete the prescribed work before time expires, or until they finish the final interval of: 20 box jump-overs; 12 clean and jerks at Weight 4
- At the conclusion of 26.1, or the 12:00 mark, athletes will have until the 20:00 mark to establish a 1-rep-max clean and jerk (26.2).
- The clock will continue to run; there is no designated rest period.
- As long as the barbell is clearly lifted from the ground prior to the 20:00 mark, the athlete may continue the attempt.
- Any lift initiated at or after 20:00 will be invalid.
- The score for 26.1 is the total time or total repetitions completed in 12:00.
- The score for 26.2 is the heaviest successful lift before the 20:00 mark.
