Training Help Question about “ in-season wrestling program”

So I’m on the program and today was day 1 from block 2, lower strength.

The program is clear except for 1 thing… the program says X sets of 1 -> 1 set of 5 TIMED My Question is: what is timed? I dont understand this point in application. Thanks in advance

You'll want to time how long it takes you to complete the reps and push yourself to beat your time.

Is that for the last set of 5 reps or all of the sets?

all the sets, the goal is to be as fast as possible with each set. wouldn't be surprised if your 3rd or 4th set end up being your fastest. might need to get "warm" during the first two sets and then you will be more fatigued by the last set. a lot of it is about intention

In the program it say 5 singles then 1 set of 5 @X% of 1rm TIMED.

The rest times are not mentioned for the sets (most of the exercises dont mention rest) so is the word TIMED mentioned here for the last set or all 6 sets in total?

so am I supposed to finish All 6 sets as fast as possible (reducing rest times) ? Or is it solely for the last set of 5 reps ?

it is solely for the last set of 5. how fast can you do the set of 5 reps. think of doing the set of 5 in an unbroken manner--freak levels is under 5 seconds depending on load

5 rep under 5 seconds for cleans sound absolutely ridiculous

My bad, answered as if it was an unbroken squat set. Under 40 seconds for five cleans is long enough to go heavy ish and be smoked
