Critical inspection reveals a distinct objective behind this structure. Beyond the obvious rep scheme reference, compulsory efficiency is the purpose. Low repetitions promotes prompt turnover, implanting the need for seamless execution in sustained effort. The time limitation is adequate to mandate strategy, yet short enough to alert a sense of urgency. Extracting maximum reward entails two essential elements:
1) Technical competence: To maintain a steady state of work throughout the 10-minute period, power cleans and jerks must be performed with technique rather than brute force. Muscling through repetitions works in short bursts, but does not facilitate continued work.
2) Throttle manipulation: It’s truly astounding how pacing escapes even high caliber experienced athletes. The ability to moderate effort and deliver persistent work is a primary skill for high intensity training. Standing over the bar preparing to surrender your lunch does little to increase fitness. Sandbagging and selecting diligent speed are entirely converse. Find the knack for adjusting speed slightly mid-workout to avoid the red zone and watch results progress
