General Training Notes:
You are continuing with the mid-knee snatch progressions. If you don’t have blocks then you may want to stack a few 45 lbs plates up so you can totally focus on second pull. Please film a few sets and post in the Masters FB group for feedback.

Then everyone is doing a classic CrossFit style metcon that mixes gymnastics with a barbell. The barbell must be taken from the ground so you are cleaning it first, then going into your squats. Ideally you are keeping your reps unbroken since if you drop it, you’ll need to clean the weight again! The last barbell should be challenging but doable for 3 reps. We would like to see you really pushing the pace on this piece since you get built in rest. Your rest time is when you are changing the plates on the barbell. Try to bring your heartrate down and recover quickly. For those doing semi-finals, use the grips you plan on wearing for semi-finals (if you use grips) and make sure they are in good order for next weekend.

**Please adjust the weights if at any point they are above 90% of your 1-RM.

Optional Additional Work Sessions
*Please choose to perform only those sessions that are most focused on your weaknesses, and only perform as much of the additional work as you can recover from successfully before your next training session.

2 Minute Run @ Mile Pace

90 Second AMRAP of:
10 GHD Sit-Ups

*Pick up where you left off on the 90 second AMRAP each time.
