General Training Notes:
You get some block work with your snatches today! We are continuing to build in your muscle snatch (ideally this is a little heavier then last week) and then you’ll work off blocks for your mid-thigh snatches. Please take about 10 minutes to build to your 75% and then start your sets. Keep the sets between 75-80% today and focus on solid mechanics.
If you followed our previous cycle you know that we build to heavy triples on push-press. We will know be building to heavy singles and using the muscle endurance gained from the last cycle!
Then its time to do some sprint repeats today. The goal should be to row at about your 1-2k pace, finish the burpees in under 20 seconds, transition quickly for an unbroken set on the GHD sit-ups, then hit your last burpees in under 20-25 seconds again. Rest and repeat. Seems simple right? Let us know where the wheels fall off! 😉
