Focus
- Macro: Preparing for the Open
- A continuation of the previous month. Expect to see prior Open workouts repeated as well as efforts that test your capacity to keep moving and pushing forward for one more rep. Remember, every second counts.
- We will also test Grace, a 2K row, and a 3-rep-max front squat.

- Use the first three sets to move through full range of motion and elevate your heart rate.
- Focus on technique with an empty barbell in the fourth set, using the movement that you will perform in workout one.
- After finishing the empty barbell work, take a few minutes to build up to your starting workout weight.

- Welcome to week two of the second 2025 Strength 1 lifting cycle where we'll continue following the same wave-loading template as our previous cycle. Week five will be a deload week and then in week six, we will test our 1-rep snatch.
- For the percentages, use a recent max or heavy single.
- If the percentage calls for more than a single rep, they are meant to be completed as unbroken (touch-and-go) reps.
- Rest as needed between percentages and waves.

Stimulus & Goals
- 15:00-20:00.
- Row efforts in 4:30 or less.
- Double-unders in 2:00 or less.

Strategy
- Hit today's effort based on your involvement in the Open. If you are performing the workout on Friday, today should be more of a move day vs. an all-out effort. If you are not signed up for the Open, then get after it today.
- Focus on your breathing and staying smooth through the double-unders.
