Today's workout is the second 2024 Service Cup workout in honor of Randy Simmons, an LAPD SWAT team member who died in the line of duty on Feb. 7, 2008.
This is a fast, lightweight barbell-cycling workout similar to the benchmark workout, Isabel. Choose a load that allows you to perform at least 10 unbroken reps every time you pick up the barbell. The load should feel light (very light for some). Reduce the load so you can perform multiple reps unbroken and complete the workout in less than 8 minutes. Athletes who are less familiar with Olympic lifting should take time to drill the mechanics of the snatch and reduce the load and reps.
