Athlete Notes:
We’ve got a 2 part piece coming up today. We see it all the time at competitions like WZA where athletes will finish a lift and then go straight into a metcon, or vice versa. Today we’re going straight from some barbell cycling into a fast paced metcon. On the clean and jerk portion we’re looking for the 10’s to be either touch and go or fast singles, as well as the 8’s, then the 6/4/2 reps should all be something that you could touch and go. The faster you move the more rest you get before the metcon. For the 6 round portion, last year at semi finals we experienced athletes struggling to handstand walk when their grip was smoked. That’s what we’re looking for today. As the workout progresses your forearms should start to burn. How well can you handstand walk when that happens? We’re looking for the swings to be unbroken, the chest to bar to be in 1-2 sets, and then kick right up into the handstand walk and see what happens. Push the pace here and see if you can finish this workout in less than 10 minutes.
