A: Snatch (Complex: 6 Sets)

1 Pausing Power Snatch (1″ above parallel)

1 Pausing Squat Snatch (bottom)

On the Power Snatch, find the receiving position about 1″ above parallel. With the purposeful deeper catch focusing on footwork and positioning. A full pausing Squat Snatch to follow, with our pause in the bottom of our squat. Take your time, get your balance and standing up

Rest about 1:00 between sets

B: Metcon (Time)

5 Rounds
21 Wallballs Sq Jumps (R+20/14, Rx 16/12)

18 Alternating Dumbbell Power Snatches (R+50/35, Rx 40/25)

15 Box Jumps (R+24/20, Rx20/16″)

12 V-ups

*Score: Time it takes to complete the 5 rounds

*Time cap 25 minutes.

The goal is to choose weights, variations, or rep schemes that allow the work to be completed under the cap

WALLBALLS SQ JUMPS

Choose a weight that you could complete for 15+ unbroken reps when fresh

ALTERNATING DUMBBELL POWER SNATCHES

Let’s choose a weight that can be completed for 20+ reps unbroken when fresh

We’ll alternate arms on every rep and both heads of the dumbbell should make contact with the floor between the feet

BOX JUMPS

These are standard box jumps, which require full extension at the top of each rep

Jump up to the box for "R+ and RX"

We encourage all athletes to step off or jump off the box instead of the riskier "rebounding" option

Max Thrusters (R+95/65, Rx 75/55)

As the time windows decrease (10-7-4), so do the run distances and weights on the barbell

Your score for each round is total reps on the barbell

We’ll rest 3 minutes between rounds and change out weights

RUN

If your best mile is above 8:30, reduce the distances to 1200-600-300 meters respectively

This gives you enough time on the barbell for each round

See "modifications" for running alternatives

BARBELL LIFTS

Choose your weights for each movement based off the following recommendations:

Clean and Jerks: 9+ Unbroken Reps When Fresh

Power Snatches: 15+ Unbroken Reps When Fresh

Thrusters: 21+ Unbroken Reps When Fresh

Today’s workout centers around our weightlifting movement: the strict press

After each round of descending rep strict press, you’ll complete some 250m and sit-ups

These other two movements utilize very little shoulders, which will allow us to maintain strong barbell sets

Your score is the total time it takes to complete the 10 rounds

We expect this workout to take between 20-25 minutes to complete.

A: Overhead Squat

Heavy Set of 3

Building to a heavy triple from the floor

30 Pendlay Rows

30 Overhead Squats (R+115/75, Rx 95/65)

Since we’re working through multiple parts, let’s cap this 18 min.

OVERHEAD SQUATS

Let’s choose a light-moderate weight that can be completed for 20+ unbroken reps when fresh

During the workout, we should be able to complete the set of 30 within 2-3 sets

Row or Ski Calories

*stimulus is 12-15 with a 18min time cap

*We have two back-to-back couplets for today’s workout

This piece is fairly posterior chain dominant, which creates some interference between all 4 movements

This means we’ll have to find a good break-up plan to keep chipping away while pushing off excess fatigue

You’ll complete all the work of deadlifts and jumps before immediately transitioning to the swings and calories (no rest between)

The workout flows like this:

30 Deadlifts

30 Box Jumps

20 Deadlifts

20 Box Jumps

10 Deadlifts

10 Box Jumps

10 Kettlebell Swings
