About the Week
- Welcome to the last week of November, where we’ll round out our focus on Olympic weightlifting and transition into prioritizing Open workouts and testers in December.
- Start this week with a rowing and ring dip couplet, where complementary movement patterns and decreasing distances allow athletes to maintain intensity on the rower.
- On Tuesday, balance mechanics and push PRs as you build to a 1-rep-max snatch and clean and jerk.
- Post Thanksgiving fun yet grueling kettlebell partner workout on Saturday.
- Wrap the week with a Hero workout in honor of U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant Matthew T. Abbate.
