Athlete Notes:

Today’s workout is all about lifting under fatigue and building consistency at some higher percentages. We don’t have specific weights for today so your workout might look a little different than others based on what your current 1RM snatch is. Push the runs hard and then stay over the barbell when you’re cycling it. The key is going to be making sure every rep counts. Make sure you’re diligent about switching your weights out, we’ve seen that as a tested skill for many years now. On the way back down, push the pace as the weight gets lighter and see if you can hang on for that final 5.
