Athlete Notes:
This workout is really going to test your pull fatigue and your ability to stay positionally sound when fatigue sets in. Both your grip and your back will likely start to get a little pumped after the first few rounds, so being smart about the snatches is going to be key. For most of you, fast singles is the route you should take on the barbell. For the gymnastics movements, that’s going to come down to your confidence on the barbell. If you’re a little shaky, then breaking the chest to bar into two quick sets is better than risking a miss on the bar, especially as the weight gets heavier. Since you get a little rest after the toes to bar, don’t be afraid to push those. The reps are relatively low each round, but the volume will catch up at some point, so just be ready for when it does!
