Sprint Saturday: Calorie Bike and Clean & Jerks

November 09, 20241 min read

This Saturday’s workout features an intense couplet of calorie bike and clean and jerks. The goal is to keep a sprint pace, minimizing both rest and transition times.

The weight for the cleans should be moderately heavy—challenging but manageable for multiple reps. For the veterans among us, this is a familiar workout that we've taken on twice over the years. You might have scores from 2022 to compare your progress.

 

See you all in group classes, on the zoom, or in the open gym.

Cheers,
Big Cat
